Wow...sorry it took so long to respond to this. And then the thread closed, but it's back now, so...
I did read the interview mentioned (it was a good one too) and I did see the quote that you posted, that it is essentially a completed puzzle more than a fresh retelling.
But this quote (from the same article)...
"Many parts of the text will be - if not identical - recognizable to the knowledgeable reader,
but there are also pieces that have never appeared before." (emphasis mine)
...gave me the impression that there will be *some* new material, even if it is minimal. I agree with what everyone has said already, that it's basically the same story in the most complete sense, but I still think we may be treated to a little new material, those nothing so large as to alter the plot significantly. Just minor touches, I'm guessing.
But we'll find out soon, won't we?
