That's how Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake was described, and that film amounted to little more than a pumped-up version of the tv show. Rick Baker's work was about the only redeeming feature. As for The Wolfman, I'm not expecting perfect fidelity to the original, I just hope they don't completely mangle the original story.
Point taken. I should have expanded on that, or not even used the word. Basically, from the script i read, it was a whole new story. It was more of a "Hey, let's get our monsters out there by making new movies about them, rather than rehashing the originals". So really, as i said, they take the characters we know, take that same basic plot point from the original, and throw it into a new story.
I hate remakes, because, as you said, they mangle the original story. But this script...it's not mangling the original story because, well, it's already an original story.
