My only problems with remakes is when they either
A: don't bring anything new to the table
B: fuck it up by pandering too much to the original
Shit like the NOES remake that would have benefited from changing the central idea to make it fresh (he actually DIDN'T molest the kids and was burned) or the Halloween remake (which completely ruins everything about the character) are the worst types of remakes.
Friday the 13th remake brought some cool ideas to the table but then decided to play it too close to the original (with that stupid fake out ending) that ruins everything before it.
However, shit like Dawn of the Dead (which for what it is works really fucking well) was able to take the central idea but make it work better for the current time in which we live.
So really, it all depends on what he decides to do with this idea and how well it is executed. Until it's confirmed and we get a trailer I can't be mad because I love the original and I still can always watch it.
