I agree with the statement but I feel like you have it backwards. Introducing a new cast and story is a risk, remaking or filming a sequel of a beloved movie is the safe bet they keep falling back on.
Maybe I’m in the minority here but I’m content that there’s no sequel to District 9. The story was told well and had a proper ending. I loved the characters and world building but I don’t need another story set there unless it was planned that way from the start.
Maybe it’d be good. I’d love to be wrong. I’ve just been burned way too many times by hamfisted sequels to get excited anymore - especially when the original came out as long as this one

Privately owned studios should all be run at a loss as a point of pride among the wealthy. “Oh, you’re funding a popular film? For profit? How embarrassing for you.”
