      but that excuse doesnt hold water either, why spend money on a remake when you can make money on a quick and easy and CHEAP remaster/re-release without any effort or inevitable backlash around casting choices

        Remasters rarely make money.

        The Blu-ray remaster of Star Trek (can’t remember which series) lost money.

        No one would buy a re-release of a decade old Harry Potter film.
