Sure, but that doesn't mean that the *original* is overdone. It's sort of like saying that Austen adaptations are off-limits because there are already a lot of romantic comedies out there. And as with Austen, it hardly seems fair to blame the original for stuff in the adaptations and riffs that isn't there in the original: R&J is pretty explicit about the fact that we're dealing with "a story of...woe," even if, say, Twilight totally ignores that fact or Taylor Swift uses the eponymous characters positively in a song lyric. :)
