Best Answer

Film companies decide to remake movies for a variety of reasons. The main reason is to make the movie more modern and up to date. Another reason is make money. Sometimes, if one is a fanatic of a movie, they will contact the film companies and request remakes, hoping the remake is better and more action packed than the original.
