Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a OK remake. The Fly too.

I think if you can bring a new vision to an older film, maybe old
chestnuts are worth re-making. I have a problem when one attempts to remake a
classic that is indelibly imprinted on peoples minds and 99% of the time, they
dont come off. Remaking a classic in color because younger people wont watch
black and white films is not enough of a reason to justify the re-do of
Manchurian Candidate, those ghastly King Kong remakes or even the crappy color
versions of Little Women. FRANC

I think theres a very good reason for remaking movies such as this. The
majority of young people will NOT watch older movies and especially black and
white movies. I have four children (the oldest is now a college freshman and
the youngest is a rising 3rd grader) and despite my strong interest in old
movie, television, and radio; its been a nightmare trying to convince them to
watch or listen to older entertainment. It would be nice if the remake
preserved the basic message and perhaps updated it for todays world.

Well casting is progressing for the remake of one of the grand-daddies of
all science fiction films:
Keanu Reeves has signed for the role of Klaatu in the remake of DAY THE
EARTH STOOD STILL
........well, he certainly has a lock on alien presence in Hollywood but I
see Ralph Fiennes as a more appropriate choice .......but why a remake seems to
be the overriding question here.
