I think one of the most disappointing things about this is that the theaters will be saturated with these remakes and it will strangle any newer movies who want to actually make an appearance on the big screen. In some senarios the audience might even be completely alienated by the entire ordeal as movie after movie is nothing more than a movie they've seen years before on TV/DVD/VHS/(some viewing device available in the future). God only knows what effect it will have upon the reputation and prestige of some of those films (IE The Birds).
I find it quite saddening that all this is happening at once and is being so well accepted by actors, fans, and directors alike. Already, I can't count the amount of remakes made in the last ten years. I can only hope this fad dies quickly, or is executed so well that it makes the wait and the frustration worth it. A mediocre outcome would only mean a failed attempt and no real stop for remakes or unneeded sequels.
