Exactly!!
What the fuck is this about!!!! Although at least they've put an interesting spin on it by casting an African-American in the title role.
Regarding remakes...
How do we know if we are watching a 'remake' or a 'new version(on the original one)' ??? Sometimes it's hard to say,isn't it?
Exactly!
But I'm afraid I'm a bit cynical about this. How many remakes have you seen where you can genuinely say that it was a true re-imagining or a new version of the old film as opposed to a simple money-making exercise (though you may think that's okay too)? Maybe we can try and make a list...
Possibly one might be The Thin Red Line, but I've not seen the original so can't really comment. I'll try to think of some others. Can you think of any?
