It is real but...
As a fan of the manga all I'm going to say is: You guys who create movies/anime/whatever. Give us the last story of the manga animated. It's the best story - better than Shishio, and better than the OVAs, not to mention the awful fillers - and you had ample opportunities.
Instead of that we get a new animated OVA and this movie. And there's talk to the manga being re-written during this summer. I know you try to milk fans but at least do so in a way we might appreciate it.

looks cool but not sure why they are rewriting the manga.

No idea. It's probably a reboot like with DmC.

But does it need to be rebooted?
If its a spinoff or a sequel that would be fine.

"Need"? The story in the manga is as complete as it could be. But I don't think anything justifies a reboot. For me it's just an easy way to start something popular all over again to make more money, easily. Just look what they did with Dragonball Z. They made Dragonball Kai. As a fan I really like it and all, but other than that I don't think it was really necessary.
At the beginning I had heard it was to be a continuation of the story. Though I don't know how that would work as the way the story concludes kinda makes it hard to continue. Unless they change the main character.
Then I looked at wiki, trying to figure out what's the deal with Watsuki Nobuhiro's other creation, Embalming: Another tale of Frankenstein, and the first thing I read there is that it's currently on hiatus because, Watsuki will work on the reboot of RK.

Well Kai is isnt a reboot, its just a special edition version of the anime without the filler.
Well introducing a different character to be the main should happen as it provides new storytelling oppurtunities. Maybe making it a spiritial sequel set in a different time would help.

Re write the manga?! Please tell me this ins't true.I'm a HUGE Rurouni Kenshin fan (I've got all the Viz Big Volumes) and we change what isn't broken? Kenshin vs Enishi was a epic final battle to a superb series. I'm excited about this movie thou.

As I said before, my only source is the first lines here.
Though, yeah I totally agree with you SRS. The manga is already perfect.
That would actually be nice. Maybe Kenshin's son or someone in the future. Or past. However since the word "reboot" was used, I'm fairly sure they'll stick to what already provided them with money and use Kenshin and the rest of the guys again, from the beginning. Maybe altered a bit. Like another version.

When he stopped RuroKen, he tried to start a big shounen, Busou Renkin, which was something like Fullmetal Alchemist. Unfortunately, the sales of the manga weren't good and he dropped it. Busou Renkin anime is a very good and interesting shounen but the fans expect something like RuroKen from Watsuki. Embalming is also an interesting manga, different from what we used to read from Watsuki but it can't attract many people to buy/read it.

I like Busou Renkin a lot actually. Both anime and the manga. I don't know what the fans' problem is. The only common thing about FMA is that they have the same concept: alchemy. Other than that, the way Watsuki handles alchemy in BR is totally different from Arakawa's in FMA. I like both for different reasons.
Embalming has an interesting concept too. But I guess the world is ruled by the One Piece/Bleach/Naruto fans.
I like his drawing especially. Rebooting Ruroken is a waste as the manga is already perfect in my eyes, and I don't see them creating a proper anime for it, so taking a step ahead and making a reboot manga of the story is kinda too much in my opinion. But I guess it's better that Watsuki does it, instead of someone else.
