i don't know, I think it might be a hit. Sounds to me like they are remaking it
and bringing it up to date *culturally*, from what I've read.
I could only imagine making Gone With The Wind from a politically correct
perspective. Nearly every scene with Melanie and Scarlet would be about who
could beat Mamie the hardest or sex scenes with Prissy, Rhett and Ashley
Wilkes.

This looks like one of the failures at the top of management where they
think "well... we own this property and it paid for itself before, so let's do
it again". The 1959 classic is perfect just the way it is that they can't
really do justice to it in a remake. If you look at the chariot race CG in the
new film, it is lacking, cheesy, and adds no spectacle that the 1959 remake had
in spades. My wife and I saw last year in Seattle a presentation of the 1959
version in an 8K restoration. The original 65mm negative was so sharp that the
huge screen was beautiful filled with grainless and sharp imagery.
If this trend continues we will probably see a remake of Gone With The Wind.
