Remember the first film had only spoken opening credits to fit the world. I don’t see anything approaching that chutzpah in this.

I feel I should say I did not read the original novel or watched the movie by Truffaut. I only know the premise and the teaser seems to show they are remaking the same idea. Is this going to be a TV movie or theatrical one?

We live in a world where physical books are not the main source of information anymore. You can go ahead and burn books but that will not quench knowledge. It’s not clear from the teaser how they are approaching this, but it seems to me it would be more effective, if you’re bothering to remake this at all, to update it to the internet age.

What’s the temperature for burning a server?
