    books have been around for a LONG time and you don't see any "reboots" of Huck finn come out?

That's true, which makes one wonder. It's not like writing a book in your own literary voice is any more difficult than making a movie (just look at the number of people involved). Maybe it's because books are somehow sacred, a "work of art" as opposed to movies being a "pop thing"? Videogames are still considered child's play, even though there have been plenty of games to inspire emotional engagement with virtual characters (much like what cinema or books do); you'll know exactly what I mean if you've ever played The Last of Us (I haven't, but I've seen Markiplier play all the way through, and my heart stopped quite some times because of the events). Maybe the cinema hasn't yet "proven" itself and is therefore considered a toy rather than a real tool of art.

And what about Odyssey? Has someone rewritten it?
