The trend of making new versions of old movies no longer surprised. Sometimes the labels "reimaginings", "restarts", "reinterpretations", "reset", or the name you can think of to save face with the public and, incidentally, to hide the lack of imagination of the industry. In the coming years a flood of films that are remakes of classics has been untouchable. Or so we thought .
."The public is renewed," is the great phrase Diva lunches Mirtha Legrand. And it seems that the film industry listened and decided to apply to exactly his words. Hollywood remakes ever made, either foreign films (said to the American public does not like reading subtitles in theaters) of lost time films, or films that could be considered another appraisal with new techniques or effects special.
But in recent years he performed new versions of classics, let's face it, you were a failure: "The Prophecy" (The Omen, 2006), "Evil Dead" (Evil
Dead, 2013), "RoboCop" (2014) , just to name a few.
