Neverending Story remake coming

Well I personally find remakes annoying for something different then most others do. I don't care that they're re-doing a film I've seen already or have fond memories for. I think it's a great way to show a new generation of kids a movie they probably would have over looked otherwise. My problem with it is Hollywood is so high on remakes right now anyone with an original screenplay gets shoved aside. Unless it's based off a comic book or previously made film you get shoved into independent distribution in most cases. A great example of this is the academy award nominates for best picture. The only one that was released wide out of all the movies was "Benjamin Button". The rest were all limited release. Most of these movies were based off a previously existing story but none of them were stories that have been made into movies before.
