I hope they at least don't try a shot-for-shot duplication, like some fool did for Psycho a few years ago...

Actually, I can see some good in this. The original film had a positive message, and many of today's younger folks simply will not sit through a black-and-white film, and certainly not a science-fiction film without computer-generated special effects.

A thoughtful remake would bring this story to untold numbers of moviegoers who might otherwise never be aware of it.
