Gone With The Wind would be too expensive to make in this day and age. The first shot for the movie had to be the burning of Atlanta and it had to be done in one take because they burned down part of the back lot where they were going to build sets for the movie. When you see Rhett, Scarlett et al driving the wagon through burning Atlanta they used stand-ins. At this point Scarlett hadn't even been cast.
If you have ever seen the documentary made of the making of Gone With The Wind you would understand how incredibly expensive it would be to make today. Plus it is such a classic that I just don't think a remake would be as well received. Sometimes it is best left alone.
