Remaking: Cronenberg's The Brood....Really? Quit While You're Ahead.

I am really at a loss right now. How are these endeavors being financed? /Film reports that Crazies director, Breck Eisner, is in the talks to remake David Cronenberg's The Brood. Why are they even trying? This is totally having my faith in this industy, slip further. Cronenberg is a genius and cannot really be topped in my oppinion. Like how is anyone making Videodrome again...HOW? Or how bout Dead Ringers for that matter. Like give up before you start I say. How this is being approved for a remake is beyond me.
