Well? I think it shouldn't be remade. The movie is fine the way it is, but now they're gonna butt f^ck the whole story and purpose of the movie by making the remake just a full blown horror movie. >.> Ugh, great.
Ask 'Lil Wayne who the 5 star b!tch is!
I don't want it re-made. One, because the film context requires it be set in Spain. Two, I love Belen Rueda as Laura and don't want anyone else to play her role. And I don't think they'd be as good either.

More likely that they will make it into some neutered "meh" movie like the Ring re-make, and then expect us to thank Hollywood for making the movie/story "available" to a bigger audience....
And yeah, instead of character actresses like Nananko (Japanese "Ring") and Belen (Orfanato)-- who created strong, credible mothers fighting for their children and slowly drawn into the supernatural against their will-- Hollywood will cast someone with supermodel looks, with all of 2 levels of emoting.
If Hollywood Executive didn't "get" or accept that the whole "point" of the Japanese "Ring" was to convey the sadness and fear of Nanako holding Sadako in her arms, how can they "get" or accept that the whole "point" of Orfanato was to convey the sadness and fear of Belen holding Simon in her arms?
If you care enough to go around telling people you don't care... you obviously care.
I think it's going to be awful. They're going to try to make it into more of a horror movie, thus ruining it because it's not a full-blown horror movie. And they're going to cast someone stupid like Jessica Alba as Laura, and it's just going to be awful. DON'T DO IT!

Del Toro(the film's producer) was enthusing about making an american version way back in 2008 during the movie's international release. Taking this into account, I'm actually surprised it has taken this long. Bayona(the director of the original) was approached to direct the remake but he refused.
