Hollywood rehashing jumps the shark

Not only can they no longer come up with an original idea, now they can't even come up with an original actor.
James Dean to be 'resurrected' for new Vietnam war drama
Rights have been acquired to digitally reanimate the actor, who died in 1955, so he can star in his fourth movie
Hollywood icon James Dean is due for a cinematic resurrection after it was announced the actor has been “cast” in a Vietnam war drama about military dogs.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, directors Anton Ernst and Tati Golykh have acquired the rights to use the image of the actor – who died in 1955 – from his family in an adaptation of Gareth Crocker’s novel, Finding Jack. The novel follows a soldier who bonds with a labrador called Jack during the conflict, but is ordered to leave the dog behind, along with thousands of others, when the US military pulls out.
The film-makers will use pre-existing film and photographs to create a “full body” CGI version of Dean, with another actor providing his voice.

And some reaction....
Reanimating James Dean is a monstrous, legacy-destroying idea

That guy's fame has always
That guy's fame has always puzzled me. Did 3 shitty films and 60 years later we still gotta deal with the fucker because he soiled lots of panties in the 1950's? He's basically the male version of Kim Kardashian -- sans getting a few black dudes out of jail.

Yeah. Fresh ideas are few
Yeah. Fresh ideas are few and far between in Hollywood and with the huge budgets going into films, its not surprising the industry leans heavily on repackaging tried and true formulas. And its not really new either (although its got worse and worse over time). How many times have they remade "A Star is Born"?
That being said, bringing back CGI Peter Cushing in Rogue One was pretty dope. Don't know about this faux James Dean thing though.

Rasmatazz probably still uses “gay” as an insult also.
