There's remakes, sequels, and even prequels coming out of the Hollywood mill. But, what about pre-makes? A remake of a prequel.
One example comes to
mind. We had the original Manhunter, the prequel to Silence of the Lambs. Manhunter was an excellent film, but it was entirely forgotten by audiences and left on the side of
the road, or rather, tossed out of the car and abandoned. Then, along came Red Dragon, which is based on the original
book of the same title. So, Red Dragon is a pre-make. It's a remake of a
prequel. Manhunter was the original prequel to Silence of the Lambs. Then, they remade
the prequel.
Ah, Hollywood. A creative wonderland.
