    Hollywood has been out of ideas forever. Even the Clooney Pitt ocean’s 11 wasn’t original. It was a remake of the rat pack one, with Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.

      Sure, but it’s one thing to take the concept of a heist movie with cool popular guys and repurpose it as a vehicle for the current batch of cool popular guys and another to do a follow up about how the cool popular guys are all old and tired now.

      It’s different layers, even discounting the fact that Soderbergh adapting Traffic or remaking Ocean’s is very much a different exercise than modern IP rehashes or reboots.
