i don't think you're getting what i'm saying... or maybe you are?

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.

you're almost there, but not quite...

i'm not against sequels or remakes. i understand that if business dictates a need for another pet cemetery, so be it. and i will pray that there is good plot/casting/directing. it just annoys me that the studio (in this case and in many others) is already going back to the original w/ out trying to progress the series into a 3rd instalment or create an original (shit, we've used this word a lot!) script. no one wants to create anything new these days. i guess that partly has to do w/ the large drop in theatre attendance, but a lot of that is made up in dvd sales. it's frustrating.

we're pretty much on the same page here.

I'd watch a remake of this. Clooney is a badass. I just hope he doesnt have a bad acceptance speech and spread "smug" throughout the movie

:p
