    Basically that’s what they did with Ocean’s 11. The original Frank Sinatra version was shit. But it was a good idea, a crew of super cool dudes get together to rob a casino.

    They remade it and it was very successful.

    The Thing has a similar origin.

    But it’s rare things like that happen because Hollywood execs usually need an existing property with good numbers to greenlight a movie.

    Ghost in the Shell was an unnecessary remake of a fantastic original animation that was improved by the series that followed it. There was never a need for a live action version.

    Word War Z.

    Have it actually be a mocumentary with interviews. Once people start talking switch to the scene. It is a collection of short stories. Would be fun.

    Or make it a mini series.
