I agree it's unnecessary but I think the studio just wants to cash in on American filmgoers by making a version that is more palatable to the average person.

At that point, why even call it The Raid?
Probably to get us suckers to see it to compare it to the original.
On a good note, I checked the IMDb page and it looks like Gareth Evens is credited as a writer so maybe he can ensure that some justice is done to the movie

I think he's just credited as writing the original film/characters, while some mercenary screenwriter was hired to do this remake. I doubt Evans has much say in this one. :(
Hopefully he gets something made of his own soon - The Raid 2 is hands down the best action film of the last few years.
