I don't disagree but

We could try adapting some of that guy’s other work, but why bother?

In recent memory Matilda, The Witches , and The BFG have all had unnecessary reboots. I'll bet a James and the Giant Peach is next.

If anything, it's time to leave his material alone now. there are enough new children's books and stories written all the time, surely they deserve a shot?
