It is indeed a sad fact that there will always be filmmakers with no love for the genre, and no originality or creative vision of their own. The huge gaps that lie between good to excellent remakes will always be filled in with utter garbage, the intention of which is only to rip off the originals and make some profit.
For the industry and, more importantly the genre, YES... a hundred remakes would certainly make a difference. While it is quite improbable that such a high number of bad remakes would ever be made from one film, I merely meant to suggest that in spite of any bad remakes that come out of Fog, for example, it will never make a difference...it will never change the way I feel about the original film.
And speaking of the cast...I've never had any reason to respect Selma Blair whose name to me seems to be the only one remotely familiar. The way John Carpenter puts it (when asked about the Fog remake), he doesn't mind that someone wants to "freshen" it up, but his answers don't really make the film all that optimistic.
