As much as we all know and have learned, movie remakes are not new, nor are they some particular symbolic representation of the original. Instead, remakes of movies are for different reasons, either because of modified concepts, TV diversification, or other times or periods. However, many of the films do retain the flavor of the original one. Of course, there are also instances when the remake doesn’t exactly resemble the original, whether in the context, visual design, tone, or other factors.
But accepting the fact that it is sometimes altering the movie to an unrecognizable extent isn’t always the worst. It indeed turns out to be a vast improvement. Below we present interesting and exciting 10 remakes of the film that totally changed the original movie tone. These 10 remakes will leave you in awe and will definitely change your perception about remakes.
