Has creativity left the building?

I haven't seen this film, and from what I've read I don't want to, but I have seen Can't Buy Me Love, and the previews for this movie, and I'm left wondering one thing. Have filmmakers become so un-original and void of creativity that we have to start doing re-makes of 80's teen flicks? I would have loved to be in that meeting when somebody pitched this idea. Regardless of the racial stuff too. This still would have been a stupid idea if starred Matt Damon and Julia Roberts. I mean, it's not like Can't Buy Me Love is a classic that NEEDED to be re-made, it is OK at best, and it wasn't the premise that made it a good film but the performances. And from what I've seen in the previews, this kid couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.
