We've been remaking films for a while now, and will always continue to do so.
Deal with it.
Article 218 of the Internet Charter of Rights allows fanboys to bitch about insginificant things with wafer-thin arguments that lack logic or thought.
"Deal with it."
Which is funny, since you are essentially doing the same. Complaining about a process in Hollywood which has been going on for decades, and will continue to go on regardless of your complaints.
For example, the Al Pacino version of
Scarface (a classic in its own right) was a remake of an earlier 1932 film. Yasujirō Ozu remade his own film
A Story of Floating Weeds and Alfred Hitchcock remade his 1934 black and white film
The Man Who Knew Too Much in color in 1956. And so on and so on.
Remaking is a long-time tradition in Hollywood, and it has most of the times yielded very interesting results. The Pacino version of
Scarface is a modern-day classic. I thought the American versions of
Seven Samurai and
Infernal Affairs were actually on some level better than their Japanese and Chinese predecessors.
I would hardly dismiss remakes on a whole, which is narrow-minded thinking.
