Isn't Cronenberg suppose to be working on the sequel to "Eastern Promises" with Viggo Mortensen? I honestly rather see that movie come to fruition, or better yet, have Cronenberg work on a sequel to the overwhelmingly underrated sci-fi/horror flick "Event Horizon" @Vinnie Rattolle: AGREED!

But why in God's name would Cronenberg want to remake his own remake, which had an ample budget, special effects that (mostly) still hold up, and a great cast? It's rare for a remake to become a classic in its own rite, but that's exactly what happened with the '86 version. Lightning sometimes strikes twice, but three times isn't always a charm.
