ROB ZOMBIE ON REMAKES from a 2002 Interview
AYG: "How do you feel about big budget remakes of DAWN OF THE DEAD and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE"?
ZOMBIE: "I feel it's the worst thing any filmmaker can do. I actually got a call from my agent and they asked me if I wanted to be involved in a remake of CHAINSAW. I said no fucking way! Those movies are perfect -- you're only going to make yourself look like an asshole by remaking them. Go remake something that's a piece of shit and make it good. Like with any movie I have elements of CHAINSAW in it because I love that movie so much, but I wouldn't dare want to "remake" it. It's like a band trying to be another band."

AND FROM A CURRENT INTERVIEW
The thing with remakes is, no matter how good the remake is, nothing… NOTHING can make you love something more then the original because it’s something special to you. I mean, same for me. No matter how great the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD was, it’s never going to be as special to me as the experience of seeing the original DAWN OF THE DEAD in a packed theater at Midnight while I was in high school. That was a mind-blowing experience. And that’s no insult to the movie, it’s just there’s so much emotional baggage attached to these films for some people. And I totally get it. You know, but that doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be done. If that was the case, Nosferatu would be our only version of Dracula that we would have seen for the rest of our lives. There’s nothing wrong with doing it, you just have to do it with the right intent and not just to make a quick buck. Which obviously is what goes on a lot. We don’t have to bullshit each other. Even if 100 remakes are bad… you still have to always… I always liked the guys with the hope… “Well, maybe this is the one that fucking everyone’s happy about.” I don’t care about everyone else’s movies. I tried to make this awesome.
