Why is EVERYTHING getting a REBOOT in Hollywood? (Mean Girls, Twilight TV Show, Snow White, etc)

- Lately, it feels like Hollywood's film and television shows are mostly remakes and reboots. Today, I want to explore the business theory of film remakes, the writing process when adapting stories, and how Hollywood is built on a long history of adapting pre-existing IP into a cinematic medium.

What is a reboot you’ve watched recently?
Percy Jackson!
i forget the name but it was a reboot of like godzilla or something
ALSO OVE WATCHED A WINX CLUB REBOOT BUT WITH REAL PEOPLE
The new Wonka Movie
pjo
The reality is, most reboots and remakes absolutely SUCK! That's why I love and watch more foreign films more than ever!
Would you watch a movie called Wonka but it starred Jason Statham and directed by Michael Bay >:)
I should watch more foreign films then! What’s your favorite?
Avatar gonna bee good tho im not sure if live action remakes count
Avatar directed by Zack Snyder and Michael Bay >:)@@tmakombe
I like swedish films. like
Show Me Love
So Damn Easy Going
And a lot Ingmar Bergman films😊, And french films like Amélie, The Intouchables and My Favorite since Childhood The Umbrellas of Cherbourg it's a musical from 1964😀
I constantly think how the film industry is lacking a bit of original movies and shows. But it’s also very confusing. Everyone says something else about a movie that is so bad, because the critics say so, then someone you know tells you it was great. I honestly think remakes and reboots are fine, but we want something new and original. I’m a writer myself, and I want to see something new and non cliched.
Yeah I agree, I think studios are scared to tackle new ideas because they think it won't do well. I think with good marketing and a good story and a great cast would really help sell the new idea.
I think you hit it on the nail. Reboots and remakes are safer because the studios know they have those ips and can bring back the original cast or change the cast. I mean a good example for a lot of people is Spider-Man. There is like 7 Spider-Man film projects and the reason each of them feels different is because people know the character and can really change a few things and they know people will buy a ticket. Also people who read come to the movies so they can critique the difference between the film and book, but it’s also because readers want to see the movie so they could see if the film is everything the imagined in their head.
Yesss, I totally agree.Inspiraton is an important element for an artist,I don't mind remakes just as long as it's done in an original way and makes sense.Thank you for another informative video Makayla ❤🎬🔥
Remakes can be good if they take inspiration from a source and make it into something new. That is completly fine and valid. Sadly I think most people are upset, because some remakes do not feel orginal and that some franchises rely too much on nostalgia. It comes across as if filmmakers or showrunners don't bother enough anymore to create something original or write decent stories or characters as the rely too much on nostalgia and an already existing fanbase. I personally believe that remakes can have potential, if they are made with respect to the source material and tell a compelling story (for example Arcane or The Last Of Us).
One piece is also a good example of a remake done right
Iced Coffee!! OMGGG Yayy!! She’s posting! We get an insta post and RUclips in the same hour 🥹
The instagram girlies KNOW 💜
I feel like when there’s a remake of a movie that’s based on a book a lot of people compare the new actors to the old actors instead of comparing them to the books which is why they also say they look nothing like the original. Iced coffee 😝
Off topic but Makayla just know your an inspiration and you keep thousands motivated everyday ❤
This literally made my day. So much love 🥹💜
I can totally relate to this thought. I've been thinking that we need to start an originality revolution lately lol
Social media, Hollywood, and film schools don't tend to want that.
@@Lonelyeco yeah , but humanity does my friend
We appreciate how well you articulate your own insights. You'll always have our support.
Thank you!
Iced coffee!!! Makayla, I love your content so muchh it's so interesting.
Thank you so much for watching!
girl, im so happy that ur still making content. im glad you came back and continued to make videos bc ur so awesome ❤️
Iced Coffee!!!! Makayla I admire the way you break down these topics into a better understanding format. I do agree remakes can be a good thing, but while these remakes are being reborn I want to have access to new stories that may have the same message but share a different perspective of achieving a characters main goal in the story.
Love the way u talk and inspire us .. just never stop making videos makyla ❤❤❤
Makayla is such an inspiration, I have been watching you for a while now and you have helped me in ways I can’t explain. Thanks makayla! ❤️
Makayla this is so off topic from the video but your videos and tips actually helped me so much!! You're probably the main reason I was able to navigate my way into the acting industry and why I got over my stage fright! I recently did an improv performance and I got up on stage by myself with 0 hesitation! 1 year ago, I would've never done that!!! So I guess just thank you!! thank you for helping me on my journey in acting :)
ICED COFFEE
Iced coffee!! Loved the video as usual xx💖
Where you at, Makayla??? I miss you!!!😢💖🤗
iced coffee!! love your videooos! keep going
Iced coffee :)
This is a really interesting topic, and it's definitely gotten me thinking about why this is happening. But you're right, Makayla. Artists do like to take inspiration. The play that I am working on, I am taking inspiration from multiple things (even the two main sisters are inspired by my best friend and I because she feels like a little sis to me ;)) As well, songwriters as well tend to take little song snippets from each other.
You shine girl 😁
Yay, I miss seeing you give us insights on Hollywood/ Film Industry ❤!
iced coffee!
Linda Hutcheon says adaptation is the process and product of repetition without replication, and it's the space between the "original" and the adaptation where the artists can do their work.
I just her piece on the theory of adaptation is sooo pertinent in today's media.
Great video as usual!! 🧊☕️
I MISS YOU! I miss your videos so much! please post again!
Okay but Percy Jackson is legit so good!
fr
Iced coffee!! I love your videos, keep doing this kind of format! :)
AGHHH YOURE SO RIGHTT EVERYTHING A REMAKE also I love you and your videos you're so amazing
ICED COFFEEEEEE.
I like how you explained this. Most reboots I like enough, there are a few I love and there are those few I am not a fan of. All films are a different and a different person's view on a story or something. I will keep that in mind for every new movie or series I watch from now on!❤
Great vid, just letting you know the new Mean Girls movie is an adaption of the Broadway show so it's not exactly a remake and the Wonka movie is a prequel to the original.
Hi makayla this is off topic but you really inspired me to become an actor so I’ve been watching all your videos and it has helped me so much and I’m doing my first ever play next week and I got one of the lead roles and it’s all thanks to you ❤
I always try to make stuff that’s original and yes, it does involve taking inspiration from other work as well as the world and environment around you and what you enjoy as well, like merging it all together in a way to make something from your identity.
I’ve been working on my own Marvel Universe and I have my own takes on characters, storylines, even new Storylines, different costumes, teams, etc etc. I’m making sure it’s true to what Marvel is to me but I also want to add my own spin to it.
But even with that, I have my own original superhero universe that’s inspired by so many different superhero brands, and also different entertainment and stories outside of the superhero genre while weaving it into the genre somehow, so different types of characters, powers, backgrounds, genres and tones come into play.
But yeah, listening to you talk about this really opened my eyes a bit more as I work non-stop in my creative writing and stories and I always try to subvert expectations, try something new, and finding the perfect balance in my stories that suits me personally so thanks a lot 😋👍
This definitely opened my eyes a bit more to all the remakes that are coming out, especially when you put it in the Artist perspective on what is happening in Hollywood, I think you really did a good job explaining that.
I will say this, I do wish more original stuff will come out in the coming years. Specifically characters. That’s what I personally want to see. So yeah.
Thank you for making this video Makayla. It was amazing. God bless you ✨
Iced ☕. This topic was sooo interesting. Thanks!
"Iced Coffee"😂
❤ Love You & Your videos + I like it when you ask us to comment on the first things you see Makayla, super funny.
😊I think remakes are cool in order for the spirit of original movies not to fade.
Saw your WALMART AD!! it was so good lol!! ❤❤❤
The Wizard Of Oz has had 3 silent film adaptations in 1910, 1914, and 1925 as well as a 1933 short cartoon and a 1902 stage musical before the most famous and beloved 1939 movie.
iced coffee.
i love your videos i have been watching you for like 5 years you make me the person i am today. God bless you
I was just having this convo with my parents last night..right on time discussion
iced coffee!! THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING LOVED IT :D
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I have been talking about this for so long. I aspire to be a director and this is something I want to change. I always tell my family, "don't you think every movie coming out is like a part 2 or 10 of old classics?" But, why is there nothing new being created? Where can I find a new icon or new movie?
iced coffee!! love your videos and bless up!
I definitely agree. A lot of movies are remakes of books or other movies. For me, as long as there is a bit of originality incorporated in the film, I tend to like them. Thank you for this video! "Iced Coffee"
Iced Coffee! I liked how you stated how even with "Original" movies/TV shows, there is still some form of inspiration for those projects. It reminded me of this quote from The Lego Movie.
"What I see, is people inspired by each other, and by you. Taking what you made, and making something new out of it." - Emmet, The Lego Movie.
Iced coffee!!❤
She is so beautiful ❤
iced coffee! I mostly agree. It’s not often talked about that so many famous movies come from novels but is somewhat known among cinephiles and avid readers. I will say I do wish that even if studios remake things that they would make it their own! Not just modernize it or make it a musical. For example, ‘the Mask of Zorro’ has been made multiple times in the 20th century but the 1998 one with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones is definitely classic! Also Rian Johnson’s films being a new invented Agatha Christie mystery.
Also, little note but ‘The Wizard of Oz’ came out in 1939 same year + studio as ‘Gone with the Wind’. Judy Garland won an honorary (jr) academy award when Viviane Leigh won hers (sounded like Makayla said 1933)
I love your videos and iced coffee ❤❤
adore iced coffee!!💌
3:20 yeah like Dora and lost city gold I love that movie because it's fan and gave me a lot of nostalgia
Hey Makayla! I wanted to ask if you could make a video on why you need a demo reel and how to make one. If you could, it would really help. Thank You.
I feel like I enjoy shows that were inspired way more than the ones that are literal remakes if that makes sense... Inspirations can bring you so much more novelty than remakes can, just because you still have the freedom to count your own story, even though the new story might happen in the same universe.
Iced coffee 🍺 I agree with Makayla what she said is very informative and I am inspired as a writer-actters to keep my work as original as possible ❤ love you Makayla 💋❤
Iced Coffee! Also, I'm a new sub, and I already love this woman!
Iced coffee but makaylaaa it's been 3 monthss
Great video
10:25 Totally feel like that when I’m writing sometimes!! I intentionally do it, especially if I’m looking for the same tone that some studios take. Definitely.
Also sometimes when I do that, I get into a mental state of “I’m a fraud, I should never touch my keyboard or pens again bc I’m such a hack. I’m a hack and everyone knows it!” And then I go to sleep bc it’s probably 2 am when I start thinking that way. That or I take a day off to refocus and think.
Miss your videos, hope you are doing well Makayla. 😁🎥
IP, IP, IP, and fear! But you are so right about nostalgia. Remakes may hold very little resemblance to the original. The real issue is most of these remakes aren't well-conceived. You can do ANYTHING, but you have to do it well
i cant even explain how much i love your vids❤
Thank you for watching them!
So many shows and movies are based on books, like thirteen reasons why, the summer I turned pretty, the kissing booth, where the crawdads sing. Those are just a few of the many.
I love your videos! iced coffee!!
Makayla, I just picked up my first IPOP audition
Makayla i miss your videos 😢
Ice coffee!!!😊
This video is honestly very informative, because I don't think I have thought about it that way, I kinda sorta knew most films were extracted from books, which I find very interesting. But in my opinion reboots are most of the time a no, I feel like there's a difference in taking an idea from something and modernize it or create something bigger rather than just taking the whole concept of something and remaking it.
I hope that makes sense 😅.
There is definitely a distinction between getting inspiration and adapting a work. Good point!
This is an interesting viewpoint- i think in our age, it's harder for original content . Reboots are hard because capture the same magic that worked at first can be tricky. Audiences do change and grow older so finding the original charm for mature audience is so important. I do agree that everything is recycled in some way-heck even in anime, the structure of characters and story is recycled but the world building in each is different. Great video and iced coffee
Can’t wait to watch my fav actress!!! ❤
What you said about books being adapted is so true cause sometimes I would come across a show, thinking it's original but then find out that its been adapted into a book and I'm like not again 🤣 There's this show on Amazon Prime that I really like called Night Sky that's about an elderly couple and I was so surprised but happy when I learned that it's a completely original story that isn't based on anything but unfortunately it got cancelled after one season because like you said it's an original story that doesnt have a fan base and I also think because the main characters are an elderly couple, it's also why nobody was interested in watching it and it makes me sad
1:39 Makayla could’ve played Ariel so so sooo well!
I love Raven's Home. So much including Season 7.
Yeah you right BUT ALSO people just don't like original movies too like night Swim, imaginary etc.
Great video! I would say adaptations work much better than reboots. Adaptations tab into the same audience but like you said "it's an original derivative" it truly requires dissecting what works from the novel , comic, or whatever the original offered, and then perhaps adding new elements that will work better in the new format, whether a movie to tv series. There is so much ingeniutity that goes into that process. They have to extract the essence of the original and use what works then distill that to a new audience. It requires an artist's insights to adapt.
Reboots require much less ingenuity. The changes seem to be arbitrary. And the motivation seems to be money rather than a true creative endeavor. Like Jeff Goldblum's character said in Jurassic Park “Your scientists (movie executives) were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
You have great adaptations like the early days of the MCU , unpopular characters like Guardians of the Galaxy are now household names! Then you have unnecessary reboots like the Fantastic Four (2015) which didn't add anything of substance to the franchise, and just seemed like a remake for sake of making one.

Hello Makayla! Is that your voice on the smart press commercials?
“Iced coffee” 💖💖
i think a big part is that the major studies are too scared to take a financial risk and market their films properly and screen them in theatre.
i also think that the "movie star" doesnt exist anymore. people dont go to the cinema anymore just on an actors name like they used to.
and i think the streaming business model is a major culprit.
i have a question about self-taping. I have a fringe/bangs so would i have to pin it back or have it forward whilst self-taping? Thank you, love your channel :)
Hey girl! I’ve found your channel and been binge watching all your videos. Love your editing, info and personality 💜 I’m traveling for two months to LA (from Argentina) know it’s very short time but I want to take the most of it. I would REALLY appreciate if you could give me any advice. I have no agent and can’t afford platforms. But I do have headshots and a reel 🥰
Remakes can and should certainly be good thing. The issue Hollywood is having of late is that there is less subtlety with modern remakes. Because a lot of the time, overexploitation of the nostalgic factor is usually the watchword and as such creatives are made complacent in terms of offering up something new or adding in a bit of subtlety to enhance the remake.
Iced coffee! Nice video💜
I want makayla to be next generation STAR!!
Heyy lol i luv ur vids u slay makayla
Thank you!!
My biggest gripe is when movies from the 80's (I lived those years)especially are made into TV shows trying to capture the magic of the movie. For me it erodes somewhat the nostalgia of the movie and they almost always use new actors for tv...never works...money grad in my eyes and heart.
sometimes the reverse,tv shows from the 80's made into movies..examples: Baywatch, The A-Team and Dukes Of Hazzard ...
Also I think reboots are good they just have to do it the right way so people don't be thinking it's terrible.
Hello, Makayla! My name is Sabeh and I’m 14 years old and I have a few questions for you:
1. When getting an Agent/Manager, is there like some sort of website you can hire them off of?
2. I am really trying to get some auditions in my area, but I have no luck. I tried Backstage, and sill no luck. Do you recommend any other websites?
3. How did you get your first audition?
Sorry for taking your time away, also I am a BIG fan of your work and I’ve been trying to become a young Actor from taking advice from your videos! Keep up the great work!
Edit 1: OMG MAKAYLA I HAVE AN AUDITION ON SATURDAY!!! WISH ME LUCK!😊
Well said✨
I would love to hear you pick a series/movie and analyze it as a budding screenwriter! Or as an actress!
Same thing with Broadway there is a lot of shows based off of popular movies. (I'm actually doing Anastatia at the moment!) although they are remakes or adaptations there still really good... at least the musicals are.
Makayla: I don’t read; like I don’t.
Also Makayla: writers have to read.
her being a littterary major.. 👌🤦♀
Ik this is a bit random and has nothing to do with this vid in particular but I just wanted to ask a question. I have to pick my GCSE options next year and I wanna take drama because I’ve been getting into acting recently and have joined a theatre/acting group and I was talking with my brother who took drama GSCEs and he asked me if I wanted to get into acting as a career and I said yes but acting is a hard industry to get into and (for when I’m older) if I got an acting job on something I would have a steady flow of income but then after I finish that acting job my income would drop and paying for things will be more tricky. So my question is how can u easily sustain a good flow of income while not acting/after ur acting job finishes?
(Sorry if that doesn’t make any sense)
Speaking as a layman, I think rebooting a movie is not a bad this just if you do it without messing up the magic around it!
this is why i love the movie series Avatar by James Cameron. its so different and the story is soo beautiful...
Iced coffee! 🙌
Iced coffee! Remakes have been around since the 1930s in Hollywood, I guess. Some examples I could think of are the Universal horror films of the 1930s such as Dracula and Frankenstein, which have paved the way for other remakes such as the Hammer horror films in Britain. Heck, an original idea such as King Kong had a number of remakes. But I agree that this current trend is more associated with franchises because, earlier on, remakes were just a rare anomaly more-or-less.
I agree with all of this!
I've been writing off and on for 10+ sometimes I throw it away
I've never liked remakes all that much. I prefer watching movies that are more original ideas. I'm fine with movies that take ideas from other movies and yet make it their own. I think of the scene in "City Of Angels" where Seth's lip is bleeding after he wakes up as a human after falling off the building as an angel. When I later saw "It's A Wonderful Life" and the scene where George Bailey's lip is bleeding once his cop friend finds him on the bridge and he laughs, that scene reminded me a bit of that movie, yet both movies were their own. I've never seen the "Wings Of Desire" movie, so can't compare that to "City Of Angels". I like some tv shows that are remade, though. I think of the new "Monsieur Spade" tv show and knew right away it sounded like Bogart's "Maltese Falcon" character, so in that sense because I'm a fan of the old classic movies, that made me want to watch the show and I've watched it on Sundays since the premiere on AMC.
Iced coffee !!
As someone who enjoys some reboots/remakes, I can relate as a RUclipsr as the people I consistently keep up with on this site have content of their own that’s so good that for my own channel, it’s not that I’m not trying be like them nor copy them, but it’s because I’m inspired by them as for example, 2 NASCAR RUclipsrs I keep up in KamikazeGames and Brock Beard with have done documentaries on their channels that inspired me to make my own about my past in Brook Park in the Sandhurst House.
CodyHGaming who’s another NASCAR RUclipsr has a NR2003 series titled *Can I Recreate?* which inspired me to do my own version with Tim Duncan’s best and worst plays with the San Antonio Spurs during his illustrious 19-year HOF Career. You know what I mean? Same with people I’ve seen do Wheel of Fortune Game Night and Gameplay Videos which inspired me to do the same thing my own way and and also do Jeopardy! since nobody has done that yet. Great video Makayla! So beautifully well spoken!
Iced Coffee!
This is what make the AI conversations so complicated. Because it’s doing what artist do anyway, just at an accelerated rate. (I know someone is gonna argue it’s not the same.)
girl you look SO good in pink
