Did Spielberg just stop making original films? What next, a Citizen Kane update?
Maybe he should try a remake of The Magnificent Ambersons considering all the decades-long consternation about the lost footage. Make it to Welles' original specifications and restore the Bernard Herrmann music that was also cut, prompting him to demand having his name removed from the credits.
The timing might be right, what with The Gilded Age on HBO and all.
