Here’s my theory as to why: It’s well known that Landis is a self-described “nerd” who’s on the Internet a whole lot. It’s also well known that if you read most of the online comments about his father’s original classic, which I’m sure he has, you learn that one of the reasons 99% of the die-hard fans of “AWIL” love it is because of the old-school, practical effects used in the film and, specifically, in the iconic TF scene. Again, even from a non-fetish standpoint, they love the realism and horror of that scene, so it makes sense that he would try to replicate the success of that, except with the twist that it’s now a woman. (Otherwise, why remake it?)

Of course, "R" rated movies are in vogue again, and nostalgia is so strong that people will probably scream bloody murder if the movie isn't rated "R" and bloody like the original was.

I can and will agree, that practical effects would be the only why to go for the remake. Using CGI only as a way to enhance the practical effects. (Hiding zippers esc.) But I can also see studio interference on the movie as a whole.
Let's go cheap..... So...... CGI to the rescue!!!!!!
At one time CGI was expensive, but nowadays it's cheaper than practical effects.

I'm sad now.
I do hope Landis is able to make this movie a reality.
As for other reasons to remake a classic......
$$$$$$Money,Money,Money$$$$$$$$
Honestly, I have heard worse reasons for remakes. One day, they will remake Jaws.
