Hollywood is currently attempting to mount incredibly risky remakes of two all-time movie classics – and they’re both in the hands of the same filmmaker. Studios love to remake classic movies. Disney has been quickly rattling off live-action remakes of its beloved animated films for the past decade. Remakes come with a brand recognition that studios hope will get butts in seats. Some remakes have more to add to the story and actually end up surpassing the original, like Heat, True Grit, and the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. But those superior remakes are few and far between.
