  I havent heard it before, but Ive always been a bit out of the loop
context: But the whole reason they're remaking movies is because they hate taking risks. Making new stuff is risky, so they take something that has already been successful and make a low-effort remake that people will go see because the title is familiar. No studio will invest in remaking a flop. >
  
  Dune >
  
  Is one of the best-selling novels of all time and they are making a film based on the book, not on the 80's film. >
  
  I would like this.  Great concepts that were terribly executed should be remade to get the execution better. >
  
  Please give me eragon that is actually similar to the book. >
  
  The reason there are so many reboots and sequels is that the new film borrows from the previous one’s success, so the audience will go and see it because they loved the original. 
  With your plan you have an audience turned off by associate with a shit film and actual fans not wanting to go because you changed something they liked 
  Hollywood doesn’t like risk and your plan is big risk. You’re better off with brand new properties than being tainted by previous flops >
  
  
  Instead of remaking great movies, Hollywood should remake bad movies that were based on good stories, but did not meet expectations.
  
  Such as? >
  
  Every video game movie from the 90s >
  
  Not even just from the 90s. Assassin’s Creed was horrible. As were both iterations of Hitman. DOA, Tekken. Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Doom, Prince of Persia (tbh I actually didn’t mind this one but it got panned critically), Final Fantasy, Need for Speed. None of them have any kind of acclaim, nor did they do too well at the box office. 
  The whole approach of how video games are turned into films needs looking at >
  
  I didn't mind the Resident Evil ones, you could tell they were their own thing and just loosely adapted from the concept of resident evil rather than the story itself
  How else are you going to add Mila Yokovich doing backflips to the movie? That won my 14 year old bone..brain over instantly >
  
  I feel at this point I should remind you that the 5th Element exists. She briefly nakey in that one. Dread to think how many times 14yr old brainer would’ve been won over by that one >
  
  Sadly, I wasn't aware of that movie when I was 14, but I can assure you my 17 year old brainer was happily surprised >
  
  I’ll never understand the “not enough turnout” of the 2010 A-Team movie , and Tron:Legacy. >
  
  Tron Legacy was unjustly underrated. I mean ok, I lost a little interest in the characters in the 3rd act but the aesthetics and the music were sufficiently excellent to make up for that >
  
  Steven Soderbergh did a great job of this with his remake of Ocean's Eleven. The original film is pretty mediocre. >
  
  This is not an unpopular opinion >
  
  Idiocracy >
  
  That one was amazing. They don’t need to remake it when the original is hilarious. >
  
  Go way baitin >
  
  You stole this off a meme >
  
  I was going to say, this has to be the 5th+ time I’ve seen this on some website or another. I’m pretty sure it’s even taken word for word. Pretty lazy, OP. >
  
  In Time would be a good one to try again >
  
  That one was great. They could just steal the idea >
  
  Or the same universe just a different person >
  
  I think Battlefield Earth could be done right, if given another chance. >
  
  Battlefield Earth should really be two movies, both due to length and radical plot changes. >
  
  Suicide squad is a successful example >
  
  Hollywood doesn't intentionally bet on losing horses. >
  
  Except M3gan. That deserves several sequels >
  
  I would love to see a reboot of Congo. The book was so good but awful movie >
  
  I like this. Why make a newer, worse version of a really good movie when you could make a newer version of a bad movie? Best case scenario you fix what the first movie ruined and worst case you just make a bad movie worse >
  
  This is only unpopular amongst the hopelessly clueless studio system >
  
  This is unpopular?
