I adore the book, and I enjoy it even more now than I did as a kid. I definitely recommend reading it! I don't think the book is that much darker than the film, it's just more sarcastic and a lot stranger...like there are squirrels shelling nuts instead of geese laying golden eggs.
I wouldn't exactly call this movie a "remake" it's just another version of the original text. I just hope it's well done, because a version that will be truer to the book would be amazing.
