      Not a lawyer but I don’t see any legal obstacles as long as they only use the footage and nothing else from the original film. Put a different name on it too.

      Morally though, it’s funny but also a complete cash-grab.

        Everyone that earned money from the first release would earn money on a new release.

          But wouldn’t the new release be a unique entity, so therefore it’d be no different than if it was another film?

            If it’s the same movie, everyone that’s credited on it is still credited on it.
