Every time you are making a movie you need to answer the question: why am I making this? Especially when doing a remake, what I have found missing from the original material that I think requires filling. Perhaps there's a prequel story to be told (Planet of Apes), perhaps I want to depict a version closer to how it could've happened in real life (True Grit) and so forth. If your answer is "well I want to make money" then don't do it.
Tell me true, what is the answer for this one?
Ps. If your answer is, well the original movie was funny but didn't have enough crotch jokes then especially don't do it.
- radley 10y agoThe irony is that GitS has done massively well with updating the premise and finding new plots that leverage the society and technology of the era. Some folks didn't like the Arise OVA - I loved them, especially the 5.1 opening credits music. I found it to be a fresh and unpredictable prequel - which is rare this late in the game. The Hollywood movie - nobody was talking about what made GitS click. It just seemed to be lots of tribute for the original. So much more has happened since 1995....
