this is more another movie of the book, rather than a remake of the old movie.
Yes, definitely. Some scenes are near copies (the famous showdown with Ned Pepper). Others are totally different. This, I think, is coincidence. The Coens ignored the old movie both as a model and as an anti-model. They worked from the book from scratch.
