Contemporary directors The Thing, Invasion of Body Snatchers + The Fly
All the directors of these films have huge respect for the original, SOS much so it made a huge impact on them when they first saw these films. Their motives behind remaking these films was to honour, pay homage and respect to the original and draw attention to the original via their own remakes. All three directors have gone on record saying their remakes will never better the originals. And who are we to argue if the remakers themselves so readily admit this fact?
