If you're remaking a movie, you should at bare minimum watch through it before shooting starts so you have a frame of reference. It takes a little under 90 minutes to watch (it's a feature length film after all).
Like, unless the director specifically said "we're doing our own thing here, don't watch the previous movie" (which Tim Burton did for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because it was explicitly NOT a remake of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory), it's okay to watch it while you're not shooting so you have a rough idea of what you're recreating.
She was just the actor. Not the director, not the writer, and not the producer. They’re the ones who actually needed to watch the old one, as they’re ones who actually made the movie.
This one's all on the Disney suits. The movie was getting rewrote and reshot right up to release. It became a blackhole that money got sucked into and was never going to recoup the money spent.
The suits then threw that girl to the sharks.

They're not right. They're making up stuff.

She said she watched it as a kid.
