If you want to go the way you preach, you need to simplify your new icon much more. Lose some of the details - too much of it now with the film strip end and the internal part of the film roll. Losing the film strip end and internal part altoghether makes it not related to a film - more of a rotary dial - but then again in real life size at a quick glance you would not relate to film or movies with your new icon anyway. May be a film spool with not rounded but triangular angles, a dotted edges filmstrip or a camera icon.
