The Remake

This is a reply to Reboot Reuse, Recycle

I disagree with this post. Remakes are great! “Back in the day’ there wasn’t enough technology for certain special effects and many movies that have been re-made are better quality and are therefore more entertaining!

As a video production student, every time I hear an interesting story, or something I find strange/intriguing/odd, I say to myself: “That’d make a great movie!” and I write these ideas down in a journal of mine. Even when I’m watching a new or older movie I often find myself saying how I can and will make it better once I have the resources and skills to do so.

A few weekends ago, I was watching Peter Pan, one of my favorite Disney movies! I had not seen the movie in many years and there were many things that I did not remember from it. For example, the music? It’s a little too old school for me. I am aware that recently a live action remake of Peter Pan was made, but I have made a goal to create an animated remake of Peter Pan as soon as I know that I am capable of doing a fantastic job with it.

I don’t think remakes are boring – it’s just new writers and directors throwing a new spin on an old story!
