Yeah, that looks cool and all... but are they re-hashing the origin story? There wasn't anything lacking in the original, seems they could've just made a new chapter rather than a full reboot.

“He also is unaware of the powers of his right hand and begins to learn the truth about it over the course of the film, testing his already-strained relationship with his adopted dad Trevor Bruttenholm”

Fair enough, it’s not an origin story, but that doesn’t sound a million miles away from the plot of the first movie.

That said, I loved both of those movies and this (despite the lack of Del Toro) looks great too.
