Don’t bother cleaning  your glasses, you read that headline correctly.

The creative bankruptcy parade that has stolen the soul of Hollywood marches on with yet another remake.  The latest victim is Rod Daniels’ 1985 hit comedy,”Teen Wolf,” reports Moviehole.

Warner Bros has apparently acquired the rights to the series and is searching for somebody, anybody to come forward and attach themselves to what will most likely turn out to be another failed attempt at making a few extra bucks based solely on name recognition.

Is there a learning disability here?  Do the suits in Hollywood just look the other way when Disney-Pixar scores major hits with completely original tales like “Up,” and “Wall-E?”  Do they not understand that the novelty of a remake, reboot, or re-imagining is just that–a novelty?

How much did “Land of the Lost” make?  None.  They’re in the hole about $50 mil for that one, and the story is similar with a slew of other remakes.

Is it just laziness, or is Hollywood truly flat-out of ideas?

I truly believe, or maybe it’s just wishful thinking, that this type of nonsense can’t possibly last.  I don’t buy the claim that profit margins are significantly higher for remakes than for quality, original films supported by competent marketing campaigns.  But, I’ve been wrong before.
