I took 6 years of Spanish in middle/high school. I'm rusty at it but I did get to practice when I was a landscaper. I can understand a fair but I get lost when someone finds out I can speak a bit and start going a million miles a minute.

That's the whole industry at this point. Because production costs and budgets have skyrocketed, studios only want to green light projects they are confident they can make a return on, especially a large one. That's why we seem to be trapped in a sea of remakes, sequels, and adaptations no one really asked for.
Sure you could argue that some movies would benefit from more modern filmmaking techniques like science fiction with how much CGI and green/blue screens have improved. A director or producer could say that this was their vision instead of being limited by the tools of the time. But remaking an action movie from the 80s with only somewhat better visual design and an unnecessarily changed story or performance from the actors gets real tired.
