Details on ‘Rashomon’ remake

Our comrade AnaKhouri already gave this a mention, but since Variety has provided some meagre details, I thought I’d jump in on the fun.

YES - the setting is moving from Japan to modern-day America…which I’m rather meh about. I mean, if you were to attempt a remake and set it in ancient Japan, what would be the point of remaking it? Why not just watch the original?

That said…

Action will be moved from ancient Japan to contempo America, where a court must decide the facts about the rape of a woman and the murder of her husband.

…so my question is - how is this different from just about every crappy, grade-z courtroom drama ever made?
