…to approach a remake. This is exactly what I want from a remake: Don't give me a shot for shot version of the same film, give me something new based on the same concept. Cronenberg created one of the best examples of an excellent remake with his version of The Fly, and it sounds like Todd Lincoln had the right idea with his. Sadly, he signs off the Fango piece by saying that the studio would rather do a straight remake. Bad idea.
