an interesting discussion i find about remakes is that the films that get a remake these days are based on already successful films because of brand recognition when its rereleased, whereas in reality successful remakes as were done in the 1980s were based on films that were shit but could be improved upon. I saw the film They Shoot Horses Dont They? 1970 with Jane Fonda and i thought the premise in that film was excellent, to cover depression era dance marathons running into the thousands of hours, it reminded me of the book The Running Man by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) in a way. I fucking hated the cop-out ending of They Shoot Horses because i saw so much more potential in the film than what was delivered. Likewise i can already see someone else remaking the concept of Late Night with the Devil but making it x10 better which is how successful remakes are made
