'School of Rock' is fun. Hopefully, I've fleshed it out with a few catchy songs and kept the spirit of the original movie.
I'll always stand by the first 'Batman'. Even for its imperfections, people will never know how hard that movie was to do. A lot of that still holds up.
It's really hard to make an original movie of any kind that succeeds in the theatrical market place, in the wide release market place.
I would never try and do a remake off a movie. I think that's a whole different thing. I think everyone will always remember the first movie, and they will always compare it with the second one.
If a remake is not good, no one wants to see it and, again, it doesn't hurt the original.
Sequels face the risk of being constantly compared to the first film.
All said, even an Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan could not reproduce the magic of the original 'Devdas.'
People will turn their noses up at a sequel or that type of thing, but Pixar really works hard - if they're making a sequel - to make a sequel an original movie, to make it an original story.
Sequels to most movies are always fluff and not as good as the first.
I think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.
Star Wars, the original movie, was all the various old genre of pictures: the swashbucklers, the war movies, all those things were put n there in a different look.
