@thrashnasty190 You remake your own work if you are dissatisfied with the original.

Michael Mann remade one of his films too. Heat.
But it might be a sign that maybe its time to find something else to do.

Cecil B. Demille remade his own film once, "The Ten Commandments" back in the 20s, then the more famous Heston one in the sixties was it? Regardless, it's rare that filmmakers remake their own movies, with the exception of those who make the same old romcom over and over and over and-- :P

Never heard of it.
@thrashnasty190 Hitchc*ck did it when he remade his own 1934 version of The Man Who Knew Too much with his 1956 version starring James Stewart and Doris Day. I guess it's because they feel they've grown as artists and would like to go back an revisit earlier material. I agree, it's uncommon.

Why remake your own film?
