Zombie—best known for his multiplatinum musical career and horror flicks like House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and two Halloween remakes—isn't exactly the obvious choice to direct a dark drama about the final years of Hollywood's most fabled comedian.

The Lion King (July 21994) The third of Disney's live-action remakes for 2140 takes on The Lion King in what's being billed as a "photorealistic" computer animation, much like director Joh Favreau's previous effort for Disney, 22017's The Jungle Book.

For lovers of the original, you'll get the nostalgia you've been craving in the beat-by-beat remakes of certain scenes (like Aladdin prancing around the city streets causing havoc) while Will Smith's Genie is just enough of a twist to keep things fresh.
|
|
The first "Maleficent" actually felt somewhat out of step with Disney's live-action movie strategy, offering a revisionist take -- unlike mostly dutiful remakes like "The Lion King" or "Aladdin" -- that transformed the dark fairy into the good gal, one who grew to love Aurora, a.k.a.

"We're living in a time of reboots and remakes and so I thought it would be fun to see what Troy and Gabriella have been doing these past 10 years," wrote YouTuber hsmutube, who cleverly spliced the clips together into something that seems almost real.

The 1970s sitcom it's based on was one of the less creatively successful shows made under the auspices of legendary TV producer Norman Lear, and recent TV history is littered with remakes and reboots that struggle to prove they have a reason to exist.

"Movies like 'Ghostbusters,' 'Independence Day' and 'Ben-Hur' certainly looked like they were going to be big going into the summer, but audiences, especially in the world of remakes, have been very tough," Rob Moore, Paramount's vice chairman, said in a phone interview on Sunday.

Call it derivative nostalgia: For most audiences, The Lion King and Disney's other live-action remakes (Aladdin was another huge hit this year) are interesting only insofar as they promise to deliver a (slightly) new spin on a beloved classic, without straying too far.
|
|
And while derivative nostalgia has its place — we rewatch our favorite movies for a reason, because we like the feelings and memories they provoke — Disney seems intent on adopting it as a modus operandi, judging from the number of remakes the company has announced.

And as has often been the case with the studio's live-action remakes, the project has not been without some backlash since it was announced — including because the live-action version will apparently swap the musical heart of the original for something more action-oriented.

TV remakes are a form of comfort food, but they're also spreading at precisely the time that TV's past has been returning, sometimes discomfitingly: the conviction of Bill Cosby, for instance, and the controversy over Apu, the Indian-immigrant character on "The Simpsons" since 1990.

Resident Evil 3 tells the story of Jill Valentine—one of the heroes of the original game—as she navigates Raccoon City pursued by Nemesis, a horrifying monster sent by the Umbrella Corporation to destroy S.T.A.R.S. Capcom has an excellent track record with its remakes.

In 2019, we live in a world where massive, interconnected cinematic universes rule the box office, and where films that we're most nostalgic for end up getting their own big-budget remakes with fresh faces, CGI budgets, and capabilities that the original directors could never have imagined.

The fact that both are remakes of classics— Clueless being a contemporary version of Jane Austen's Emma and 10 Things I Hate About You being a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew—that revolve around young women with BIG personalities makes perfect sense.

And in the vast landscape of streaming in 2019—when every platform doesn't just have licensed content, but also original content—it's increasingly tough to figure out what to watch and even harder to judge what will be good, so remakes serve as a safe call.

This kind of virtual agility, providing something familiar (young Will Smith) and something new (playing an uncharacteristically somber role) may become a necessity for stars hoping to stay in the blockbuster game, especially if they want to manage their own brands without submitting to superheroics or Disney remakes.

But look back, and you'll notice that iconic zombie-heavy movies, video games, books, and TV shows surface nearly every decade: 28 Days Later (2002), Resident Evil (1996), Dawn of the Dead (1978) (and its subsequent remakes and spoofs), and the groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead (1968).

But what's striking about the multitude of A Star Is Born remakes is that the core story is always the same: An impossibly famous man whose career has been ravaged by years of drinking and self-loathing discovers a fledgling female star who's struggling to live her dream.
|
|
Some of this stems from my reflexive dislike of reboots and remakes of beloved TV shows; after so much time away, it's difficult for a series to recapture its magic, because a lot of what makes a TV show successful relies on an alchemy that's impossible to replicate.

Long before the House of Mouse pivoted to live-action remakes, streaming services, and releasing high-profile sequels like Frozen 2, Disney capitalized on the success of its princess and princess-adjacent animated classics by pumping out straight-to-VHS sequels to some of their most beloved films.

And Beauty and the Beast is the first of the Disney remakes in which the young woman cast as a Disney princess is already an A-lister; how much power Watson winds up having over young consumers' wallets will likely influence whom Disney casts for its next princess.

In a modern era where TV and movie executives can't seem to get enough of revivals, remakes and reboots -- thanks primarily to the name recognition they possess -- it's hardly a surprise that "Death Wish" would return, joining a parade of 1970s, '80s and '90s artifacts receiving new life.
|

As is now required for the hottest months, Hollywood treated audiences to yet another plodding procession of sequels and remakes, franchise starters and extenders, reboots and reimaginings, too few of which provided even the most basic cinematic pleasures: romance, excitement, escapism, comedy, spectacles worth projecting on a 50-foot screen.

In these PlayStation remakes, like the new Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro, it's jarring to see characters and worlds that once only rendered as a loose facsimile—blocks and cubes for feet, watercolor backdrops for scenery, paper dolls twitching and copy/pasted to make crowds—suddenly displayed with photorealism.

Amid the giant catalog of new television shows, the old movies, and live-action remakes of classic films, the most-talked-about thing on Disney+ is perhaps the most controversial scene in all of Star Wars: Han Solo's confrontation and shootout with Greedo the bounty hunter in the very first film.

Another lifetime later, at 57, though married (to Elizabeth Doberneck, a meditation teacher) and with a son, Omar, in college, Mr. Yazbek retains the slightly hassled aura of a man who has almost made peace with his work — or, maybe more accurately, a man who remakes that peace every day.

The film will employ the same photo-realistic CGI used on Disney&aposs remakes of "The Jungle Book" and "The Lion King" to tell the story of the titular fawn who befriends a rabbit and skunk before coping with the death of his mother at the hands of a hunter.

Globally, Disney poured money into expanding the franchise, investing in international HSM remakes, localized versions of the music videos, creating an entirely new Hindi soundtrack, and even creating three separate variants of a new Spanish-language film, High School Musical: El Desafío (The Challenge), for Argentinian, Brazilian, and Mexican audiences.

With a simple majority required to confirm, and a slim Republican majority in the U.S. Senate, Kavanaugh's confirmation would seem to be a foregone conclusion, but that won't stop the Democrats from using it to hammer Trump's nominee and remind voters of what it means as Trump remakes the courts with conservative picks.

At the time, Lynne said, "We were doing our best, but experience and technology also play a big part, and these new ones sound much more solid and tight" — although to most ears the remakes, some of which he ended up licensing for synch purposes, were difficult to distinguish from the originals.

There's a slew of other Disney remakes on the horizon, including Aladdin, Little Mermaid, and Dumbo, so it's probably just a matter of time before the company cranks out live-action versions all their old classics—though we may have to wait a while before we get an Emperor's New Groove remake.

"Disney has lined up this row of killers between the final Avengers and the final Star Wars and sequels to their two biggest animated franchises in Frozen and Toy Story, and they're still in the golden age of remakes with Aladdin and Lion King," a top executive at a rival studio told BuzzFeed News.

Blade Runner 2049 (October 6) It is only natural that in this world of reboots and remakes one of the most beloved (and fiercely debated) science fiction films of the last 40 years would be on the docket, particularly when it means Harrison Ford can return, yet again, to another of his iconic characters.
|
|
And while anyone who grew up using phrases like "surfing the crimson wave" and "As if!" may have once hoped for a Clueless part deux in the past, Dirty Dancing — among other remakes we actually didn't ask for — pretty much reminded us why we'd be happier with just re-watching it for the 100th time.

Tarantino's filmography now sprawls over three decades, starting with work that was key to shaping the tone (in ways both great and terrible) of '21969s indie cinema, and stretching all the way to Once Upon a Time, a studio feature about a middle-aged male friendship that's a wild outlier on a summer schedule of franchise installments and remakes.
|
|
So far, Disney's live-action remakes have mostly eschewed whimsy in favor of stories that attempt to flesh out the originals' flimsy world-building, to better align with vaguely progressive 2019 politics, to cover up supposed plot holes, or even just to tug the story away from a G rating and toward PG or even PG-13.

There's also a reason remakes and retro consoles from the 1980s and 1990s have proven to be a hit within the last two years specifically: The people who grew up playing these games, who may have been in their teenage years in the mid-1990s, are probably now sharing them with their own kids, according to Pachter.

By the 240s, broadcasters like RCTV in Venezuela began exporting telenovelas around the world, where they became hits in Europe, Asia, and, more recently, the US. English-language remakes, such as Ugly Betty, Jane the Virgin, and Queen of the South, have done well stateside, as have Spanish-language telenovelas aired on Telemundo or dished out on Netflix.

Pop punk is traditionally structured and built around huge choruses in much the same way as regular pop, so it makes sense the novelty of tongue-in-cheek remakes of mainstream pop songs would do particularly well with the sort of people who enjoy to yell "fuck the mainstream!!!!" a lot, but whose favorite band is Paramore.
|
|
Even in an era of constant reboots and remakes, a new Blade Runner film has always seemed as elusive as a unicorn dream: The 1982 classic was plagued by on-set strife and studio squabbling, and while the future-is-noir mystery is now considered a classic, it divided audiences and critics at the time, resulting in a so-so box-office showing.
|
|
Big studios are less and less likely to take a chance on a simple, goofy story of two people falling in love, instead retreating to the relative safety of remakes (22006's Overboard, which made $22006 million worldwide), sequels (2016's Bridget Jones's Baby, which made nearly $212 million worldwide), or blatant movie-star assemblages (like 2018's $68-million-grossing Book Club).

Launched by 230-year-old Florida musician Jeremy Hunter, who uses the pronouns they/them, Skatune Network flips some of your favorite tunes into full-on ska remakes: From 21s pop ballads (George Michael's "Careless Whisper"), to emo anthems (My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"), to R&B jams (The Jackson 5's "ABC"), no genre is left un-skanked.

Given that Sony already had released a PS3 remaster in 2011, it's hard to say that anyone was really asking for this, but the trailer looks spectacular, and unlike previous remakes of beloved games unveiled at Sony press conferences (looking at you, Final Fantasy VII Remake), we'll hopefully be able to play the redone Shadow of Colossus sometime next year.

We've all seen it across a million formats, the ways we fantasy book a lackluster WWE pay-per-view, the raging battle over just what The Last Jedi means and for whom it was made in the first place, or the retread remakes of faded series (they're bringing back Lost, for Pete's sake) in increasingly widening spirals of fan service.

If you aren't a stickler for something entirely new, God Particle may be another artful addition to the Cloverfield franchise, while the remakes of It and Suspiria are at least a little promising (as ill-advised as Suspiria seems, the Thom Yorke-scored, Tilda-Swinton-starring film definitely has a few things going for it.) As always, Geddes is watching the industry closely.
|
|
In contrast to, say, the joyless recent remakes of The Day the Earth Stood Still and Total Recall — both of which seem to have been made simply for the sake of rolling out a new film with a familiar name — successful cinematic updates tend to be driven by exceptional filmmakers and strong visions more than by the legacy of the original properties.
