I just wanna know the time length to include remakes or sequels to things before we can purpose them

That would really have to be determined on a case by case basis. There are too many other additional factors that would go into the decision to go ahead and make some sort of blanket rule/policy.

I think some of it is just going with common sense. Is it an open franchise (with future films either in production or on the schedule for another studio)? Is the original not in English? How wide of a release was the previous film? Was it a lesser-seen independent film from the early-00s?, etc.
It's case-by-case because a yearly time limit wouldn't make much sense. I remade Force Majeure which was only from 2014 (but it was a foreign language film). Meanwhile, re-making other 2014 films like The Lego Movie or Guardians of the Galaxy or Gone Girl wouldn't make much sense.

Chad answered this question pretty well, but I'll add to it anyways. Some of the various factors that would go into the decision: age of original film, popularity/notorioty of original film, success of original film, language of original film, etc. In addition to that, as far as sequels go, we would not do any sequels to active franchises at other studios. For example, we would not do a sequel to something like Men in Black or Halloween since it is still active, but we did allow Alien films due to the rights going to Disney soon and they are obviously not a company that is going to utilize that property (they're more likely to sell it off to another studio than make their own Alien films). Hopefully that makes things clearer.

I mean like remaking Kick Ass or I, Frankenstein, or other films that had promise but failed.

Kick-Ass didn't fail at all. Kick-Ass 2 did, but the first one was a super successful independent film. That one would probably fall into the realm of still being too popular and recent to remake at this time. I, Frankenstein probably would not fall into that same camp.

So what classifies being able to be redone and not being able to? Cause I'm interested in that too. Obviously we won't remake things that are still being done but what really crosses the line

Like I said, it really will be determined based on a case by case basis. You can message me Admin with what the pitch would be and I can give you an answer. There aren't going to be any concrete rules that will always be the case. |

So say if I wanted to make the sequel to Chronicle, could that happen? I mean obviously I'd have to change some things but I really wanna do what Landis wanted to accomplish.

I'd say you can use a similar concept to what Landis wanted to do with a sequel, but that it cannot directly tie into Chronicle or feature the characters from that film.

Okay so like keep the martyr name that it was gonna be originally called and same aspects just not in a way that connects with Chronicle

I haven't read what Landis planned to do, but as long as the story doesn't directly connect to Chronicle there most likely wouldn't be any issue.

Well it's tricky cause the second was meta to all hell. The tape from Chronicle was released which makes a biopoler chick turn into a villian trying to murder the same who lived in the first one. I can fix it where theres a super who is doing good till someone releases a tape his friends made of themselves and their powers. Which would center mostly on this chick whos trigger are set off by this and turns into a villian.
