It needs no remake. The original movie made a statement that needs repeating in today's day and age but is still effective by just rewatching it.

Xenophobic nationalism can't do anything but crush bugs by throwing as many citizens at it as possible.

This wasn't the exact message in the original novel but our planet's current direction politically is definitely leaning towards fascist tendencies in more than one country.
