    Umm...it's not exactly a remake

    Don't know how the previous letter writers missed this, what with it winning 11,000 Tony Awards and all, but this "Producers" movie is based on the "Producers" Broadway musical, which was in turn based on the original "Producers" movie.

    OK, so maybe it's a little confusing. Still, not a remake.
