This Really Needs To Be Redone

Since this is Roger Corman's favorite movie of all of his movies,I was wondering if he ever plans on updating this movie,and redoing it? Since this is a real 50's classic,I would think that Corman would want to do this movie over again,and starring new actors of the time.This was scary for it's time back in 57,can you just imagine how much more scarier this would be today,with all of the newer technology? I would love to see this movie updated as it is also my favorite film too,of all of Corman's films.

This film doesn't need a remake; it's fine the way it is.

1,000 mini-bios and I feel like I'm just getting started

Only if Roger Corman allows it or is involved in such an effort. He is smart to still have ownership of his projects. The way SyFi is cranking out such movies today, it would really work well.

I saw the original about 1960 and it scared the daylights out of me. I call myself a conservationist which I define as an environmentalist with common sense and with the influence that "environmentalists" have in Hollywood today this is a success waiting to happen. I would watch it. Yes, I do wonder if Jack Nicholson was involved in the original but probably only Roger Corman and Jack Nicholson are still around to answer that question.
