I don't think that it's "re-written" -all the original characters are there. The only difference that I can observe is that it's an all black cast. Many movies are becoming re-made and it appears to be (can't say for certain) that it's a pet project of Queen Latifah. So why wouldn't Lifetime jump on board? There's money to be made. People love the original movie and also love many of the actresses featured in this remake. Anything that gets Phylicia Rashad on my tv is a GOOD thing.
Does everything need to be remade? No. We all know Hollywood is taking things to their limits lately. But I think this will have a nice modern feel to it. The point is sisterhood in the face of tragedy and I don't think that will be lost. As a black Phi Mu I'm looking forward to a mixing of my "two cultures". I just hope they do it justice.
