The amount of effort it takes to make a movie is not small.

That’s precisely why I would favor original work over remakes.

By logic, this means that there are even more reasons for the movie being made because there are more people involved, each with their own motivations.

Not necessarily, no. The people working on a film might be doing it just because it’s their job. Not everything is a passion project. Also, when discussing a big studio production such as this one, the people that greenlight the movie are also expecting an ROI. Lots of big movies are just a product that produces money.

Also, there’s no reason to be a condescending prick.

Not being condescending. It’s just that wishful thinking just gets a chuckle out of me.
