Hollywood's Trend to Remakes Worrying Creative Filmmakers

Quote:

April 22, 1966, HOLLYWOOD, April 21 The Hollywood studios, alarmed by the mounting failure rate among major productions, are turning increasingly to remakes of old pictures, sequels, movies based on TV series and similar projects.

Sounds familiar? Most people seem to think that remakes and sequels are a new trend, but Hollywood has been doing it since film was invented. Remember the countless Frankenstein sequels back in the 1930s and 40s?
