no genre that is currently in existance will ever disappear. no genre that ever existed has ever disappeared, they have simply changed in delivery. The originals are still here; drama, comedy, horror, sci-fi... all have been around since the silent era. musicals still show up. arguing that any genre is "in trouble" is pointless, because they wont "die", unless we end up in a world-wide totalitarian government that forbids certain genres. even then, there would be underground stuff.
BTW, the thing is NOT a remake. if someone made another bladerunner, and based it off of the book by phillip k dick and not the movie, it would be a retelling of the story, not a remake. this is the case with the thing, it is not based on the old black and white movie but the novel THAT movie was based on.
I find it interesting that no one has said that peter jackson remade ralph bakshie's lord of th erings...
