Also learnt of the Robocop re-make last night. When will Hollywood ever learn to leave well enough alone?
Hollywood doesn't work that way. If something's successful, it will get sequels, or get remade, or have spin-offs, or copycat movies, or a TV series, or get exploited in some other way. This is in part due to the great lack of good quality original material and due to the fact that since the stupid bullshit that sells the most is usually extremely simple and unoriginal and so copying it again and again, with slight variations, works time and time again.
