Drumroll please...
We come up with some NEW ideas!

No argument there, but the point of the forum was a discussion of possibly remaking Universal classics, and how/why that might be done with equal parts innovation and respect. If you don't agree that this is a topic to mine, that's cool, but to be dismissive won't further the argument.
The idea of a remake need not be heresy. Case in point: The Maltese Falcon (1941). Anyone out there wanna tell me the 1931 version was superior to John Huston's? We're playing with possibilities here. The chance is slim that a Universal classic could be remade well, but it's an intriguing proposition.
