RE: Romero's Death - A look into Zombies
There will be only one Romero, only one Wells, only one Hitchcock. Everything else will just be a poor copy of the original.
Even the original has issues. All 4 Mad Maxes were done by the same guy. However, the bigger budget Beyond Thunderdome story wasn't as good as the Road Warrior. And the Thunder Road story really wasn't all that great.
So, I say it is good that people learn from the original and put their own spin on it, just as long as it isn't a reboot or remake. ;)
What's your favorite reboot or remake then?
None.
Take the core, then do something different. I like how the Walking Dead took the original idea and then moved to go beyond one little house near a cemetery.
I say, no more reboots or remake, just continue on with the story if you must. Or, just start a new story.
I watched Last Knights(2015) last night. It was basically a retelling of 47 Ronin. However, it was given a mid-evil age look and background that was not in history. A whole new world and a different story, but with the basic type of ending. But, even the ending was different.
I will admit, that I do like some remakes, only in that they can use newer technologies for creating the movie.
I agree!
