If Dimmension Films is doing it then I have no hope of it being good.

Independently maybe, but the budget wouldn't be there and it would suffer badly and end up being shit. There is the problem: if a person who truly loves the original remakes it, studios wouldn't fund it. The studio will get somebody who probably just watched the film remake it. Either way, it will suck. :freddysss:
