The hateful reboot of cult movies of the '80/'90
For some years now, cinema has been adopting a (failed) *reboot* strategy, that is, bringing classic and cult movies from the 80s/90s back to the big screen, in a current context, often adding modern computerized special effects, hoping to replicate a new success after decades. The cinema industry increasingly allows itself to be enchanted by probable easy profits, hoping that the users of an era ago, who now know those films word for word, will return to the cinema to watch the remake of their favorite films.

This marketing strategy has seen more flops than successes. The least profitable film remakes:

1 – Around the World in 80 Days (2004) – losses $35,000,000
2 – Oldboy (2013) – losses $24,800,000
3 – Alfie (2004) – losses $24,800,000
4 – Psycho (1998) – losses -$22,900,000
5 – Oliver Twist (2005) – losses $17,420,000

Some examples of unintelligent reboots, not to mention some forced ones like the female version of the Ghostbusters. I believe that the innovative spirit of screenwriters does not necessarily have to try to modify a cult film from the past to attract spectators to the cinema. There are many books to draw inspiration from, if there really are no new ideas on the type of movie to make. But distorting a cult for the sole sake of making money... Well it's the most disgusting part of modern cinema.

Among other things, I read about a reboot of the cult *The Neverendig Story*, a classic from the 80s that I loved and which fascinated millions of teenagers and beyond from that decade. Well, how will the screenwriters convince the audience of those years to return to the cinema to watch the digitized version of an 80s masterpiece? For me, it's already a NO!

I also recently watched the trailer for the reboot The Crown, the modern version of Brandon Lee, a convict with tattoos who looks like a gangster... Ridiculous! I'll stop here because there would still be many examples of rubbish. And do you agree with the cult reboots of the 80s and 90s?

It's the same problem that is currently plaguing most of TV and cinema, LAZY WRITING. Stories and plots are so full of holes, contradictions, insane coincidences and poor to no character development that I can hardly stomach most of them. Like what the "writers" of the last three "star wars" movies did to the story and especially Luke Skywalker. Absolutely destroyed my childhood hero and favourite story of all time. But even years before that remember the "modernizations" of the original trilogy? When they added all that awful CGI. What a nightmare. Reboot of Neverending Story is a hard pass for me, honestly it makes me angry even thinking that they are going to do that 😂

I haven't seen the movie, but the way you describe it is interesting, so I'm also very interested in technology, in robots and all those special innovations.

From the studio executives' perspective it makes more sense to exploit old content with presumanly built-in fan base of nostalgics than to risk with having to pay screenwriters to make something original. Then again, most of those executive are Boomers and old GenXers who completely misunderstand what the Millenial and Zoomer audience actually wants.

sono d'accordo,anche se a volte qualcuno riesce a fare qualcosa di bello, come nel caso di "Dune"; qui in questo caso Villeneuve ha fatto un ottimo lavoro

It's a massive problem for sure. Endless recycling of good stories, then ruined for the purpose of fitting a modern agenda that most don't even agree with.

I love movies and audiovisual arts, almost any reason can stop me from see a film.

Although, I agree that it is frustrating to see how the Hollywood industry seems to remain unwilling to innovate.

I really liked what they did for example with the "Scream" saga and although they changed the final girl this had a very good ending that led to a next movie.

What really worries me is how the cancellation culture can affect great and promising projects, what do you think about that?
