I don't think any remake actually 'kills off' the original. It's not as if the original suddenly ceases to exist. If the remake is crap, just don't see it and stick with the original film. Personally, I'd be interested to see how this tuens out. Could be interesting. Point is, whether we want it or not, they're going to remake it anyway and they won't listen to the likes of us. So either see it or don't. They're the only options, I'm afraid.
I'm not anti-remakes, some can turn out well and become classics in their own right (The Thing, The Fly etc). What I've objected to in recent years is the sheer volume of remakes coming out of Hollywood, it's been ridiculous.
