For years I’ve been saying this would be a great remake - except for one thing.

IMHO, the main themes of the first movie was the sacredness of life, and how man had no business interfering with it or terminating it.

The villain (Donald Pleasance) was an ardent humanist and atheist (in the pay of the communists) who scoffed at the religious surgeon. The surgeon delivered several homilies on the wonder of God’s creation and his ability to create marvelous life. It was a powerful pro life movie.

Does anyone think Hollywood won’t twist that message?

Good point. Now that I think about it, after reading your post, the first film version really was pro-life. And that remake most definitely won’t be.

Agreed.

The lefties are certain to ruin it.
