Easy, they pay some hack to "Rework" the original script. they pay him shit, and get a nobody director to film it, and pad the old proactical effects with cheaper cgi, then toss it out in theaters.

Hardcore fans go hoping for something decent. people who have HEARD of the classics go because now they want to be "hardcore" fans.... The movie company makes a bunch of money off of shit that they didnt put any work into, so they continue.

It's like pavlov's dogs. if you give a dog a cookie every time he shits on the rug, why would he stop?
