    I usually dislike the idea of remakes, but this could be interesting. The first movie changed the original story a lot. They could go with the King version, the Arnold version, or do something completely different. Mild anticipation.

      In the article, Edgar says he really likes the book and when he saw the film, he was surprised at how different it was to the original material. So rather than a remake, I think this is a new adaptation of the book.

        The book was written before drones were a thing, so that’s one thing they’ll have to address.
