When is it too soon to remake a movie?!


Question: 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? after everyone who was in the original is dead? does the time matter just so long as the new one is equal to if not better than the previous?

Example
Jungle Book - 1942, 1994, 2010 all live action versions (real people) should this happen? it took 52 years for the first remake then just 16 to the next.
(cartoon was made in 1967)

It doesnt have to do with time any more, now is all about the market, if a producer wants to remake a film similar to, lets say Harry Potter (wich is obviously going to sell) then is going to get the green light from the studios, no matter if the film is 20years old or just 7 years old...
Its all about the potential profit... the money!

If u remake a movie before a period of 10 years, ppl wont go 2 c it.

always ... I think it's cool every now and then, but only if it's done well. Hollywood is just gotten lazy they remake movie after movie, and don't remake it well, and the we pay $9.25 for a movie we saw 15 years ago for $3.

I used to work at a movie theatre too, and a friend of mine worked there before I started so I saw a lot of different movies from 1995-1999

The first one is fine, because there's more than one generation going to watch it.

the second remake seems okay enough because a lot of people have seemed to forgotten about it as of recent.

I think anything that came out in the 80's and up is a good time. Anything in the 90's is pushing it!

But I still would rather more original stuff, then remakes.

Never. If a film's "good enough" to remake then it doesn't need to be remade.

Example
Night Of The Living Dead
