A Movie Remake That's Neither Needed Nor Wanted

Why does Hollywood insist on remaking great classic films?  Remember the widely panned 2008 remake of "The Women"?  The awful 2016 remake of "Ben-Hur" that went straight to DVD? 

Well, not having learned anything from those and other debacles,  Paramount is now insisting on remaking "Vertigo", with Robert Downey Jr. attempting to play James Stewart's part. 

What next, a remake of "The Godfather"? Please stop already!
