True, but I also look at JC's work on Terminator 2. If anyone has experience with directing films about a post-apocalypse filled with unfathomably advanced tech which has it out for contemporary humans, it's him.

I also don't know if Villaneuve can handle the Sea of Corruption. So even if he's good with later parts, he fumbles the intro.

Maybe go the Harry Potter route.

Fair point, I'm fine with either. One of the great things about adaptations and remakes -- as long as they don't do it too often -- is that we get to see different interpretations of the source material.
