Rashomon

The 1950 film Rashomon is being remade.
Although there is not a script or director or cast, it's definitely happening, in what is sure to be an awful awful idea.
The remake will take place in modern America, and put the characters' fates into the hand of a court charged with deciding a case involving a woman's rape and her husband's murder.
The original is set in Japan and is a movie that tackled a different kind of story telling with an overarching theme of ethics.
To remake this movie seems silly, as does Beverly Hills Ninja 2 (Hasselhoff appearance), but we are in the age of the remake. The name of the remake will be Rashomon 2010.
The problem with the title is that the only people that will understand its significance don't want the project to happen. It would have been much wiser to create a story inspired or similar to Rashomon, but called something completly different.
I'm just hoping people will see the original before the unveiling of Rashomon 2010.
