Here's my hot take on this:

Carpenter's Christine (1983...same age as myself) did well enough, but anyone who has read the book knows that a lot of interesting details got axed for one reason or another. Buddy and Darnell's death scenes, for example, both would've been absolutely mental compared to the somewhat tame versions the movie shot. (Yes, the exploding gas station was wicked and the flaming Fury scenes are iconic, but still...)

I also hated how they barely dealt with Roland LeBay and made George, his brother, carry the load.

I think there's plenty of room to make a Christine reboot work properly, without wrecking a single Fury. CGI isn't as laughable as it once was. If they remember to pick up the novel and see what was cut last time, there's a chance this could actually be decent.
