Idea!
(The following is my own personal opinion)
Hey! I got an idea! Remember that crappy badly acted movie from a few years ago, that was a marginal success? Let's remake it, we'll get similar bland boring actors, the girls will be hot, don't worry, we'll use the same script, improve a couple of things, and then maybe , if it's a success we can do some sequels! Cause everyone loves sequels! Remember how Howling Four totally revamped, renewed and revived that franchise, this will be the same thing. And we'll stick Eli's name on it, that will sell it for sure!
