....f off to the idea rather than the post itself!
With that in mind, good call.
I remember reading an article about (the original release of Totall Recall) in the Sunday Times magazine before it was released basically saying it was "the most accurate vision of a possible life on mars ever" - and they weren't talking about no John Simms drama action.
Great film, better premise for a film. If they want to do a remake, let 'em. I'm not funding it so why not?!
You have a choice - to see or not to see.
I still recoil at the prospect of Nicholas Cage's Wicker Man - so I choose not to see it - simple.
Here endeth the lesson ;-)

its not a bad film, and excellent effects for its time. you could argue some effects were better in the pre cgi years as it was more orginal.
oh, and as for the wicker man, i will not see, i love the orginal far too much.

i think a remake could be quite successful... in artistic terms.
I mean the original was hardly a visionary sci-fi classic (ala Blade Runner), so it doesn't have a legacy to be besmirched... so i think with todays advanced CGI it could bring a gritty futuristic realism to the story without it appearing kinda cartoonish (as is how i remember the original).

Tho having said that I think remaking Barberella is a feckin brilliant idea, but I SO want it to be like a Barberella II and do all the sets and costumes in a '60s futuristic style and make 'em sex-eeeeeeeee!
Course prolly what we'll get is just a watered down version of the original with more explosions and Hollywood failing to be 'camp' again (see The Birdcage) due to America's abject fear of making anything that might be seen as fay.
