I don't think anybody in Hollywood has an original thought. I looked at a list of upcoming films and 95% are remakes.

Conan- why would someone go and remake a movie that sucked already?

In the case of Conan the Milius film was a cinematic interpretation of a character that first existed in a series of books so making a new one is no more a problem than making a new Tarzan film or another Sherlock Holmes film.

There is certainly a fan base to exploit and a large body of material to pull from so it makes sense to try.
