Okay...this is where I fail to understand the true purpose of any "remake" in the first place. Coincidentally, I would add remaking songs to this as well. If the purpose of remaking a movie is to update the film directors options to current technology for interpreting the writers original intent of the given film, okay. Just stick to the damn writers intent and pay due homage to the original film while you decide you're going to mess with it. IMO, the list of films that have been raped and pillaged during remakes is long and disrespectful to the originals.

If you're going to make a "series" from an original film many decades later, then all bets are off and it might blow ass so hard that nobody who liked the original movie will like the series. Others however might. Good luck not messing up something that didn't suck before you raped the idea and ventured into "Classic movie that is now a bad 2018 version of Dallas" with robots.

So, it's cool to talk about shows and share ideas, and that's where I'm at on this particular series.
