I think Arnold made the movie as it is now...a B-Movie classic.
Remaking a B-movie anyway is bad...since they try to up the ''epic'' factor which is mostly blown out of proportion due visuals.

It might become enjoyable to watch (hell it has Beckinsale in it ''Yum!'') but it won't stick like the classic one does. ''YOU BLEW MY COVAAH!!''

The original movie butchered Dick's short story, which ideally would have made a great Twilight Zone episode. I'm sure the new movie will be even worse in that regard.

My 13 yr. old daughter (a Star Wars fan) was watching Blade Runner this weekend. She was flipping stations and saw Harrison Ford.

I went to my library and grabbed Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and told her to read that instead. She didn't put it down until she finished it. Granted, that didn't take long. She reads even faster than I do.
