I never quite grokked why someone would make a remake. It's befuddling the masterpieces of previous eras and kids these days all think that things such as the recent Psycho and Ocean's Eleven and various other remakes are originals. It's disconcerting.
I understand the desire for artistic license and such. But reinterpreting a movie based on an iconoclastic book is grounds for beating directors with golf clubs and jumper cables. The whole point for the remake isn't about turning a film into something it's not, right?
