In the day and age of the net, outrage over destroying a childhood icon is seen as publicity. After all, people will take to the tubes and complain about how X movie is disrespectful to the original, and that complaint will ignite a fire underneath another two or three people, and so on and so forth until people from all over are made aware of the movies existence thanks to the hate that gets spread. Then, when the movie is actually released, there are two kinds of moviegoers: the kind that go to see if their nostalgia has actually been as destroyed as anticipated, and those few people who actually like the looks of the movie. The former always outnumber the latter, so Hollywood makes bigger returns on the movie than they would have if they had just done the original justice.
