    Unfortunately movie industry is not always about what might interest audience or publishers. Sometimes it's merely a challenge for a director or a production company to demonstrate their ability in recreating some of the popular movies.
    And sometimes economically speaking, they don't want to take risks, esp. ever since internet emerged , the production companies became more conservative in their choices, maybe since they can't really decide in this vast sea of information , what might be an interest of the mainstream.
    I agree with your opinion, but it's really not up to us.
    Thanks for the comment.
