For God's sake, no stupid US remake.

McHollywood is capable, with it's international casts and crews, of making some incredible films, but current trends are for pathetic, pale remakes and now all-female casts. Pandering at it's worst.
A remake of this classic, admittedly with errors and flaws, not least the inexplicable continuity errors (Gawain and Llancelot's duel scen which jumps), would most likely be cheap and stupid. -

joel schumacher has
already
somewhat remade this film by putting nipple-armor into his Batman films. I'm surprised that he didn't direct this film as well, given both directors' strange creepy love for nipple-armor. The odds of two different directors both being that weird seem low. -

Then again, the use of nipple armor in film may very well have nothing to do with some weird director fetish, but rather with the costuming department's knowledge and taste for ancient armor which do include quite a number of stylized representations of nipples and pecs. Looking to the past, to history and archaeology, to draw inspiration in making a movie, is not isolated incident; it is, on the contrary, pretty common.
See a Celtic example of "nipple armour" here:
