***i don't understand why people are predisposed to say the solaris remake sucks before seeing it.
Well, would a bad director and a horrible lead actor be sufficient reason? Some of us call that "track record". I am sure that turned many people off. Me - I simply never pay to watch a Hollywood film. If it ever hits the free cable channel I will probably watch it.

I had read that Soderberg originally wanted Daniel Day Lewis for that
role, but Lewis was busy making Scorcese's "Gangs of New York" at the
time, so he asked what's his name. I personally don't have any
affinity or animosity toward what's his butt, thought he was OK in "Three Kings", but like Kevin Costner, he's never really made any
great impression on me. Maybe Jeremy Irons would have been a better
choice? BTW, unfortunately missed the original Solaris on TCM, it's
out of stock at amazon.com., but will keep an eye open. - AH

  I have a decent tape of it, if you would like to borrow it - let me know.

  Well, that role calls for someone thoughtful, insightful, who can play inner emotions. None of the above applies to George.
  Hmmmm... Jeremy? I love that actor and that surely would be an intriguing idea. And you know what - I think several great British guys would be great in that role. Let's face it - I wish Anthony Hopkins made that one instead of his atrocious Hannibal trash. What a waste of great acting talent! Saw him sime time ago in the Bounty again - simply marvelous!!!!!!!!!
