Several people have compared this project to film adaptations, but I think a more apt comparison is to film remakes. They do those all the times, sometimes to great effect (Scent of a Woman, Ben-Hur, Heat... to name but three) and sometimes not (Planet of the Apes, The Stepford Wives, Get Carter...) but whatever the end result, I see nothing wrong with trying to update/adapt a movie or book for a different audience. The original will still be around, and once in a while the new version ends up having a lot of merit as its own work of art, or entertainment.
