Remaking of films from the 1980s new trend in Hollywood | The Daily Telegraph: "With the US's No.1 movie Fast & Furious, a remake and basically the same cast as the 1991 movie of the same name . . . perhaps budding writers should take a look through mum and dad's old video collection.
Romancing the Stone, Footloose, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Dune, The Karate Kid, Red Dawn, RoboCop, The Big Chill, Arthur, Ghostbusters and The NeverEnding Story are all being developed into new movies, The Hollywood Reporter states.
Neil Moritz, who produced Fast & Furious, is developing a new version of the 1990 sci-fi hit Total Recall, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone.
Lara Croft is being reborn eight years after the Angelina Jolie original.
Fox is reported to want to relaunch of its Fantastic Four franchise, which help launch the career of Jessica Alba.
Sony has also announced it will bring back Men in Black, which starred Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in 1997 and 2002, for a third time."

This is good news to me because I'm not one to automatically assume that the first version of a film has to be the definitive version. Glad to hear Marvel is rebooting the FF. I thought the first 2 FF movies were fun, but I'd love to see another director's take.
