He didn't, he went from Kill List to a bunch of other things including comedies, he isn't just a horror movie director. It sounds like he did this because he thought it would be fun.

Also probably money.

Why would anyone remake that?  Doesn't matter who the actor is, it was perfect the first time.

For the same reason that 95% of remakes happen. The young cinema-going audience won't pay to watch 35 year old movies with actors who have long since left the public eye (through age, death or whatever), and it's a far more reliable return on a much cheaper investment to remake a script that you know is good than to pay a fortune to take a chance on one that you hope will be.

I have seen a lot of crap movies. Sometimes I know they're going to be crap but watch them in the hope that they're going to be enjoyable, and sometimes I hope they're going to be enjoyable but just turn out to be crap.

Of all the crap movies I have seen over the years, I am willing to state that Expend4bles is top 5 all time crap, and not really any fun at all. Even the inevitable big showdown fight between Statham and Iko Uwais (lead actor in The Raid), two outstanding screen combatants, manages to be formulaic and uninteresting.

Literally everything about this movie is dreadful, but special mention has to go to set design and cinematography which somehow manages to be too realistic to jar with the cartoony violence, and yet too cartoony to be remotely plausible.

I almost want to recommend you see this to understand the depths it manages to plumb, but you all have better things to do with 100 precious minutes of your lives.

Looking forward to the end of the Kevin Hart era.
