"Child's Play" Remake?

According to Shocktillyoudrop.com, Child's Play producer David Kirschner has announced that he is working on a remake to his horror smash, which came out roughly 20 years ago.

"We're discussing it with Don Mancini, who has written all of them with us from the beginning," Kirschner told us. "The next one we're going to do is we're going back and remaking the first one and even pushing it further and making a very terrifying version of the first one, which is pretty scary as it is."

"We haven't come up with anybody yet," he replied when asked whether they were looking at any of today's cutting-edge horror directors. "We haven't really discussed that. We've just been working on stories, so I think that'll be a fun process when we get there." [x]

Why? Why would you even remake your own movie? The original is a classic horror film (we don't have many of those) and it shouldn't be touched. What's up with everyone and their momma remaking all these old classics? I mean, I'd understand if they were remaking some crappy as movie with the intention of making it better. But classic films should not be touched. Perfect examples: The Grudge, Halloween, The Ring, The Omen and even though it doesn't come out till next year, The Eye (starring Jessica Alba).
