I caught a glimpse of
this trailer on Entertainment Tonight...I think this movie is going to do the "source" more justice than either of the animated successors. Not that the Japanese remake was "bad", per se.
It's better that they take this approach than any of the others you could think of--updating the setting; camping it up/farcing it; making it too dark for the younger audiences. And the actors look RIGHT.

PS: Producers Are Money-Grubbing Scum.
