If it was a carbon copy of the original would anybody really care? I mean it's been quite awhile since the original was made and I believe times have changed and movies have to change accordingly. They have to think of the new audience they want to attract, the ones that haven't seen any of the older movies because those that have will more often then not go just because they loved the original (even if it is just to criticize it and point out 256 ways the first was better). Yes we all know 75% of remakes suck but don't disregard all remakes just because of that. I saw Dawn of the Dead today, first showing, it's twice as good as anything in the past... several years. Unlike the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, this was a good change.
