It isn't sloth that causes films such as this, it's cowardice. It's far easier to get money for a movie where you can point at something very, very similar that happened to make money. This is why remakes happen: You can say "look, but it made money the first time, unless we really fuck it up it'll make money this time." What's diminished are standards. The remake if Clash of the Titans did a lot worse than the original Clash of the Titans and the orignal Clash of the Titans was considered enough of a failure that nobody bothered with a sequel. The remake? Yeah, its sequel was greenlit a week after open.
