why not just remake Rosemary's baby into a Tv miniseries at this rate?

The problem with remakes isn't that "people are running out of ideas", because people love movies that don't offer anything new all the time. Drive is nothing more than a very well done Le Samourai rip off, and people keep arguing whether Dredd or the Raid: Redemption ripped the other movie off when their similarities both come from Assault on Precinct 13. The problem with remakes is that Hollywood is rich enough to acquire the rights to most intellectual properties, and Hollywood is a cynical system that hardly ever knows how to update material. Take a look at the RoboCop remake. They just applied a bunch of Hollywood trends to RoboCop without understanding it. They throw some ham fisted references from the original in there like certain catchphrases to appease fans of the original. They ignore the fact that it's an over the top satire and make it into a dark and gritty movie because kids liked the Dark Knight and they're worried that nobody would take a film with a satirical tone seriously. Also, just don't make it a satire whatsoever because making a point about current issues is too political so just mention current issues without making a point about it. And to make sure kids can actually go see the movie, PG13 now. So now we have a film that has no stance on anything, a bunch of bland trends that worked better in other movies, neutered by the PG13 rating and we're left with something that only resembles the original film in very superficial ways. Lame.

Now let's take a look at the Maniac remake, not a Hollywood production. But produced by French filmmakers, as well as the director of the original. What separated the original Maniac from other slashers at the time is that it feels like it's a character study as we watch the killer live the life in the world he's in and why he feels the urge to kill. The crew responsible for the remake understood this and updated these themes to make it suit modern times, so rather it being about a killer's urge growing from the loneliness of urban decay of 1980, they update it to be about a killer's urge growing from the loneliness of the technological social disconnect of 2012. They also do this while adding new ideas and a new vision to the material, so it becomes a film that compliments the original and adds to it's legacy rather than being like the Halloween remake which will be the Halloween an entire generation of filmgoers will grow up on. Also, the French don't give no f so R rating. And the original isn't even French. It's about as American as you can get.

Now we have a remake of an Italian horror film by Italian producers and an Italian arthouse filmmaker. I admittedly haven't seen much by Luca Guadagnino, but I have done some research. On the Rotten Tomatoes page for his film I Am Love, the critical consensus is "It stumbles into melodrama, but I Am Love backs up its flamboyance with tremendous visual style and a marvelous central performance from Tilda Swinton." And you know how you love Suspiria because of the insane visuals mixing with the great Goblin score? One of the critics for I Am Love said "The marriage of music and image seldom gets better than this." Can you honestly think of a better filmmaker to remake the film? And kids don't watch foreign movies, so it's not like there's gonna be a whole generation who are gonna view this as their Suspiria. The only people who are gonna see it are fans of the original. So aren't you just a little interested? Of all the filmmakers out there, I haven't seen many horror movies quite like Suspiria, so if another horror movie like Suspiria is a Suspiria remake, then fine by me.

Anyways, what's your point?
