I hate the word "remake". That makes it sound as if the original has been altered and turned into something different. In reality, the original still exists in it's original form and is readily available. Why not let someone else have their take on the concept? The remake rarely tries to "capture" the orignal magic, rather it intends to create it's own magic.

I'm sure Bill Shakespeare would not have liked Olivier's take on his works either. Those films never matched the original production at the Globe.
