CBR's 10 Movie Remakes That Completely Changed the Tone of the Original

"Remakes have been around since Georges Méliès adapted Louis Lumière's Partie d'écarté into his Une partie de cartes, both 1896 films being among the first ever made in history. Movies are remade for a number of reasons—TV diversification, modified concepts, different time periods/setting—and many of them do indeed retain the flavor of the original. On the other hand, there are instances in which the remake doesn't exactly resemble its predecessor, whether in tone, context, visual design, or other factors. Interestingly, altering a movie to an unrecognizable extent isn't always a bad thing: sometimes, it turns out to be a vast improvement." - cbr.com
