No doubt, Beardo. I'm fine with new takes on old ideas, just as I am with continuing a story with existing characters so long as there is fertile ground left to be tilled. Re-telling old stories is part of the point of having the story in the first place. But as you said, for every worthwhile reinvention of an old story -- another great example is Last of the Mohicans, which was made into a film many times before Michael Mann created his masterpiece in the 1990s -- there are a dozen piles of poo.
