Just mentioning this because I have seen a lot of complaints about remakes. This is a sequel! Looking forward to it, hope they take a dark plot, or at least as dark a plot as possible for Disney.

There has been a ridiculous amount of remakes of all kinds lately. It seems that no one has been able to come up with an original idea worthy of production. That being said. I do have to say it is kind of cool to see classics (that I loved so much as a kid) with the special effects available today. It is easy to screw it up though. It must be done well or you will upset a lot of "loyal" fans off.There are a lot of really good books that have been out for many years that would make great movies if done right. "The Giver" for example would be a good movie if done by a very good director and with the right ambiance. Its really short too so it be easy to screen wright.

I'm not usually a fan of unoriginal ideas. However, sci-fi visuals always improve with new tech. And this movie looks like it will be dripping with visual magnificence. The plot, acting and writing are still up for question.
