So every so often with these Wayback Wednesday pieces, I want to revisit particular film years to see if I still feel the way I once did. This should be a monthly thing and given the myriad of anniversaries that come up, it could be really fun. 2012 was a pretty interesting year for me.
The process of remaking something isn’t new, but it seems that today reboots and remakes have been dominating the film industry at an incredibly high degree. Whether it the superhero reboots that come out within five years of each other or the endless slew of classic horror films that get remade, Hollywood has really banked a significant portion of it’s business on them. So what are some things that make these remakes and reboots successful? I took a gander at the film landscape and came up with some Dos and Dont’s for having a successful remake.
