I totally get that sometimes you want to reinterpret stuff, I don't really get why you would want to do it with perhaps the most iconic movie series of all time, with actors who became synonymous with their characters...

I think I'm not the only one who looks at this like it's fan fiction. In they very best case I will see it as very good fan fiction. Fingers crossed, but I feel sorry for the actors and actresses already. I think there is a very high chance this will go very badly for at least some of them (actually kind of did so already)
