HBO has promised a close as possible to the book retelling of Harry Potter.. which many fans were super excited about (as opposed to a 'modern reimagined' version like Snow White....)
Now while there's now 'reasonable doubt' that political bias will infact be more important than authentic story telling.. we continue to live in hope..
So.. Dreamworks have just released their first ever remake.. and it looks like they're the first to truly deliver on authentic remakes (mostly... some hair colour stuff, and a touch of diversity.. but nothing that wasn't explained)
I haven't seen the latest "How to train your Dragon" live remake, but it's basically a completely authentic retelling of the original scene for scene...they even got the original director... and the public reaction??
