Movie reboots and remakes are very popular these days. For major studios, it’s a relatively low-risk way to get people into theaters. Fans of the original movie are bound to see the new one, even if only out of curiosity. Other times, a reimagining allows a director to pay homage to a film while adding his or her creative vision. From Matt Reeves’ The Batman to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, there are some exciting movie remakes we can’t wait to see.
