When some executives asked Gus Van Sant 25 years ago what he wanted to do for his next film, he replied that he wanted to duplicate, frame by frame, a universally known masterpiece, and they said: okay
It was that in the 1990s there was a running joke that executives preferred to make a sequel than an original film because there was less risk in sticking to a story that the public already knew
In the 1990s?? It seems that running joke is still running three decades later.

It’s no longer a joke. It’s SOP.
