Not as forgotten as we thought

I've heard that, in the wake of the success of the Baldurs Gate Enhanced Edition games, another game from the Forgotten Realms will be given the same treatment.

Now when I hear the words 'Forgotten Realms' I immediately think of the Gold Box - the RPG series that appeared on 8-bit and 16-bit computers in the late eighties and early nineties that pioneered D&D for the home computer. Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, Hillsfar, Pools of Darkness - all associated with the Gold Box and very fondly looked upon by veteran gamers such as myself.
So could this be? Has someone decided that a revamp of Pool of Radiance and it's successors was in order? Did someone revamp these games so modern gamers can experience what their older comrades did years earlier? Does mean I play through this massive saga of games with the same party and complete it this time?

Oh wait, the game in question is Icewind Dale.
Oh well, never mind then.
