Remake this

Karate Kid 2 is coming out soon. I recently saw the trailer ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amj-Z8UoFjA ) and have to say it actually looks good. This new trend of remaking older movies is really taking off with the world. I have always wondered how people keep wanting to see movies that they have already seen once, which got me thinking. All these remakes are not really the same movie at all. Each one has the director's twist in there somewhere. Also, these remakes are telling classic stories in a way that hooks today's newer younger audiences. The Longest Yard was a movie made in the 70s starring Burt Reynolds, and while it was a good movie back then, it just is not that interesting to today's audience. The remake immediately connects with the audience of today because of its star, Adam Sandler. He is a very recognizable face in films today and was a great pick to play the role of Paul Crewe, disgraced quarterback. My main point is that we should not be thinking these remakes are a result of no new stories being available, but rather a great story being told for the people of the new generation.
