Why hollywood people remake asian movies???

[Hayao]

Did you know that most of movies out there are remake of asian movies. Here are some.

The Lake House from II Mare

Reservoir Dogs from City on Fire

HACHIKO: A Dog's story - Remake of Hachiko Monogatari, Japanese film

The Departed from Infernal Affairs

The Magnificent Seven (1960) from Seven Samurai (1954)

My sassy girl

Dark Water (2005) (remake of the same title, Japanese horror film)

Eight Below (2006) (Remake of Nankyoku Monogatari, Japanese film)

The Eye (2008) (remake of the Gin Gwai（見鬼）, Chinese horror film)

A Fistful of Dollars from Yojimbo

Godzilla (1998) from Gojira (1954)

Shall We Dance? (2004) (remake of Sharu ui Dansu? （シャルウイダンス？）, Japanese romance drama film)

Joint Security America (2008) (Remake of Joint Security Area (공동경비구역), South Korean film )

There are lot of other movies i don't want to put them all here

* Special thanks for Rock for proving this info

Now my question why do these people remake these great movies. Is it for money. Is it legal. I mean do original movie makers know this. Are they allow to remake their movies. Seriously i don't like this. Now when these american people remake these movies we thinks those are original movies we don't know that there are remakes. So then lot of people think that only america is genius in making movies and they blame asian movies! In my opinion asian and other countries except america make great movies so they should not remakes.

P.S - Martin Scorsese won an oscar for his movie the departed and that movie won 4 oscars but infernal affairs didn't win any oscar.

no idea but .. even bollywood does the same isnt it?
even srilankan movies like Magodigodi is a copy..

copying the story is not illegal or bad.. i think coz ..coz its presented in another language another version of your own.. the disition is in viewer hands..

there are a lot of copy's like that like death at a funeral etc..

the main reason Hollywood empire makes the best is there English.. its clear compared to other English used by other country's..
that's y they climb the world top-charts every time and there production costs..
