My only concern in these things is the remake bombing and killing any chances to see future franchise installments. In the mean time, I'm all for re-imaginings and freshening things up with new stars and a modern sensibility. The trailer here shows this is almost a beat-by-beat remake of the original, with an origin story thrown in for good measure. Nothing too exciting-- I remember the original well enough that a beat-by-beat remake has me at zero interest (beyond the creepy Jackie Earl halyley aspect). As for Bay, he's just the producer here-- these films are by his shingle "Platinum Dunes" and was specifically put in place to remake these seminal 80s horror movies and, hopefully, turn them into new franchises. Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are the guys behind it. I don’t believe there are “off-limit” films in relation to remakes, after all, the original will still be available.

Some movies should never be remade and this is one of them. Probably of interest to anyone who's never seen the original, but then again, they would probably be better off seeking out a DVD of the original and watching that instead. Yes, Bay is brilliant, but he should stick to original ideas. Andy, I agree. Some movies should never be remade and this is one of them.
