In Hollywood, old is new again

In the summer months, Hollywood is often accused of doing the same thing, over and over and over again. Well, that all changes this summer.
This summer, Hollywood is doing the same thing, over and over again, but with entirely different people!
Here’s a quick look at how studios are putting new faces in old roles, bringing new life to old brands.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
Anne Hathaway is Catwoman, replacing Michelle Pfeiffer who played the role in 2004.
SPIDER-MAN
Andrew Garfield replaces Tobey Maguire (2002).
THE BOURNE LEGACY
Jeremy Renner takes the franchise reins from Matt Damon (2002).
THE AVENGERS
Mark Ruffalo is the new Hulk, replacing Ed Norton (2008’s “Incredible Hulk”) and Eric Bana (“The Hulk” 2003). Third time’s a charm?
SPARKLE
Jordin Sparks replaces Irene Cara from “Sparkle” ’79.
TOTAL RECALL
Colin Farrell replaces Arnold Schwarznenegger’s super-sized 1990 original.
Shoddy reporting? Catwoman was portrayed in 2004 by Halle Berry, and in 1992 by Michelle Pfieffer.
One would think that as this message, with this being a post on the main page, that the facts would be correct.
