... And to choose this of all movies to reboot (again). The first one was such a cultural phenomenon due to its original use of the concept of found footage and the way it allowed them to market the film. You can't recreate that again with that sub-genre having become so pervasive since the first film essentially launched it. (At least to my knowledge.)
