Yes, the past few years have seen many sad and unnecessary remakes (one opens today, or so the reviews would seem to paint it as such), but I would definitely get behind a movement to re-envision (not re-make) the Universal monster movies if, and only if, good directors and cinematographers signed on and (here's my spin) agreed to use black and white. I'm thinking more Young Frankenstein than Nadja, but I hope you get my point re: use of b&w. Would, at the very least, be better than Van Helsing.

And if they use B&W maybe it will spawn a revival of sorts that would get some younger viewers to watch the original classics. When I went to see the remake of Psycho, sitting behind me were two young guys, one asked, "Have you seen the first one? It's in black and white." The other guy responded, "Black and white? Hell no!" (Go figure.)
