Hollywood, bring back this movie if you want to do remakes so bad


I think this is one of those stories that I could see easily remade
into a classy suspense period film. Why are they butchering stories
like "Sherlock Holmes" when more interesting and unique stories like
this have basically sat on Hollywood's shelf since 1936. I know there
have been other remakes of this story but none worth mentioning or at
all famous. It would introduce this intriguing story to a new audience
who know nothing of this Robert Louis Stevenson tale. Why is Hollywood
remaking movies that are 20 years old and were giant hits to begin with
in their own right (how can you even assume you could make a bigger hit
than the original hit, i.e.- "The Karate Kid") when their are lost
gems/stories out there from much longer ago that should be
retold...stories that need to be reintroduced to the world- whose
forgotten about some of these marvelous tales.

Bring back... "The Suicide Club".

Why not just show them the original movie? Today they'd put some idiot actor in it, and a bunch of f-words.
