Lol. Spielberg couldn't be more wrong as a director, never mind Will Smiff. This won't get made.

I hear the Spielberg and Smith remake is dead.

Why do you care? They aren't ruining the original. The original will stay in tact. It's not like they're re-releasing it with new CGI scenes spliced in.
Everyone knows it won't be as good as the original, including the people who are making it. Who cares? No one is forcing you to watch it. Just ignore it.
One of the benefits of these remakes is that they end up giving a much wider exposure to the original. Tons of people who would otherwise never see the original will see the trashy remake, love it, and proceed to find the original. It's not such a bad thing.

Why do I care?
Erm because its another example of studio execs making creative decisions and greenlighting v.bad ideas...
You used to have a creative team pitch movie ideas that studios decided whether to make or not... the system is now the reverse.
Studio execs twiddle their thumbs and think oooh that was cool - lets remake it.
Just shows a complete lack of creativity within the studio system and and I hate to say it but another example of America's decline.
Bring back the heyday of creative US cinema - the 1970s...- There are plenty of great movies being made. Watch them, stop complaining.nb

This is prolly one of the more fucked up movies I've ever seen. I'd rather see Tarantino copy it though.

Every movie now is either a remake of a foreign film or remake of an older American movie

I heard they were also remaking "Sympathy For Mr Vengeance" (earlier film by same director) completely separately.
