I personally could have been on board with a remake with the original cast (though the original was already about aging and maturity, so I don’t think the passage of yet another generation would have been all that compelling of a story), but RIP River Phoenix and Sidney Poitier (had to check and see if Ben Kingsley was still alive, though). I actually think the original holds up shockingly well, for a movie that is at least tangentially about technology. It in part got lucky that it was juuuuust pre-WWW and that critical systems running on mainframes is still a thing in 2023.
