Although Fandoms may want to take the helm of writing and producing these revived films, many fans have bought into them.
Because let’s face it, when a reboot, remake or sequel is good it’s good. Sometimes better than the original. This is what keep fans coming back for more.
Movie makers have noticed this trend and are profiting from it.
To them, it’s less risk because fans know what to expect from their favorite movie franchise. The only downfall of reproducing original films is not meeting the audience expectations and when expectations are not meet you will hear from the fandoms.
