2016 - Nicole Perlman scripting

To me, it seems pretty clear that a re-think occurred between 2017 and 2020, when they shifted gears from a reboot (presumably some sort of re-imagining of the original story) to a sequel. Personally, I& #39;m glad for this - I want any new film to take the original into account.
