Pink Panther

I can't believe...

there's going to be a sequel - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6940082.stm

For the love of all that is good, and original, and just perfectly fine as it is, can't they just quit with the dreary remakes now? Why is the onetime genius behind The Jerk now unable to find work without warming over the corpse of Peter Sellers?
