Re-make

First of all, remakes are not a wise decision. They are usually terrible and do nothing but tarnish the original. However, in the case of The Beguiled, I think the story and script deserves to be more well-known. I honestly think the subject matter is still relevant and would resonate a lot with today's audience. I am a 24 year old male and it instantly became my favorite Eastwood film (much to my surprise). As long as a re-make was done tastefully, stuck to the original script, and kept the civil war setting - I think it could be a decent tribute. Ideally, I think it should be directed by Clint Eastwood and start his son Scott as the character of McB. They bare an uncanny resemblance so if he could pull it off, it might feel like an accurately updated McB. Like I said, I think the original is is great but sadly is is probably Eastwood's most overlooked and unknown film. This doesn't sit right with me and I know for a fact most people are averse to 30+ year old cinema (although it has never bothered me). What do you guys think?
