I can't seem to recall any other time when a reboot/reimagining of a franchise was done by the original creators. What's the point then if you're not bringing in someone fresh?
Night Of The Living Dead (1990) had the updated screenplay written by Romero I believe & was directed by Tom Savini...does that count? Either I love that version it kicks ass, still bummed the Dawn Of The Dead remake wasn't its sequel.
