5 Genres That Are Dying Out (And 5 That Are Making A Comeback)
2. Remakes Of Classic Movies
Remakes have always been a contentious issue, but theyve been happening since the beginning of Hollywood. A lot of fans see remaking a movie to be the ultimate exercise in laziness, but the best ones like The Thing or Dawn Of The Dead are able to take the germ of an idea and do their own thing with it. Most remakes dont bother doing that, which might be the reason viewers have grown so bored of them. Nobody could work up the energy to be angry or sad about a remake of Poltergeist, Point Break showed in the ultimate act of irony it couldnt compete with The Fast & Furious franchise and the English-language remake of The Secret In Their Eyes didnt even have time to grab its coat before being booted out of cinemas. Remakes of classic movies have really slowed down in recent times, and the few that do come along say Ghostbusters are greeted with either open hostility or utter indifference. They'll keep trying of course, but the glut of remakes of a few years ago has definitely calmed down.
