Basically that's what they did with Ocean's 11. The original Frank Sinatra version was shit. But it was a good idea, a crew of super cool dudes get together to rob a casino.

They remade it and it was very successful.

The Thing has a similar origin.

But it's rare things like that happen because Hollywood execs usually need an existing property with good numbers to greenlight a movie.
