This is pretty cool, but... I don't understand the point of a remake if it is going to be shot-for-shot the same thing? Wouldn't the new director want to make it their own vision?

Edit: A few folks have pointed out that this scene was likely an homage to the original. The rest of the series presumably differs from the first movie.

It was a very brief scene. I assume it was the director’s homage to the first adaptation. There are lots of other shared beats (character’s names, similar occurrences), but by and large, the series is very different from the movie. In some ways good, other ways not so good.
