Saw this in an ad today - http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thefog/site/index.html

 

Looks like Sony are re-making the 80's (?) horror flick The Fog ! I remember conning our baby sitter into renting this on VHS when I was 10 or so and then watching the leper crew butcher San Antonio bay.......

 

Quite enjoyed the original but can't really see what a re-make can improve on..... from the bried glimpses on the site it looks like the same story... :ermm:

I don't know that improving on the original is ever a goal is it ?

 

A remake, would normally by default produce a renewed market for the original. You look at any remake, and generally find the original is all of a sudden released or re-released on DVD, the TV stations air it, and the inevitable comparison reviews prompt people who have never seen the first to end up seeing both. Even if the remake bombs they make up $$'s on the original.
