what i'm opposed to is that the studio is remaking the original movie w/ the original plot and characters, after there had been a sequel. if there was no pet cemetery 2 then i would be fine w/ a remake of the original, but b/c there was a sequel i feel the studio should a) make pet cemetery 3 (w/ out clooney) or b) make something like return to pet cemetery (w/ clooney), both having a newly written script.
take the friday the 13th series: no more sequels, please! what would work better is if someone remade the original. pet cemetery only had one sequel (which was a decent flick). i don't think the studio needs to remake the original w/ only one sequel under their belt.

i know what you're getting at but:
1) there are no rules. Just one .. if it has a chance of making money they'll make the film
2) if the 'remake' is different from the origional, they'll still do a sequel with another origional plot line that suits the 1st remake.\
3) the only way films wont get made is if people stop supporting the trend. So far - people are seeing these films ...
Remember - the name is there - in the pop culture concious / subconcious.
even if young people havent seen the origional omen/amityville/etc etc ... the name is already out there .. it is something familiar.
I thionk thats a strong selling feature.. sort of a built in audience.
