In Reply to: Remakes...Hum......You are sitting at the fire place..Cool & calm & collected... posted by patrickU on December 16, 2002 at 08:39:34:
A remake, of some consequence, once in a great while...AND for the right reasons, isn't objectionable to me, but it's when it's a cottage industry, that it's, well, annoying, and evidence that Hollywood is totally bankrupt of any original story twists in it's pocket.What happened to the concept that filmmaking is a risky business, pioneered by...ahem, mavericks and original, distinctive talents ?
Soderberg, is the King of Remakes, these days, which speaks volumes about his Talent, or lack thereof...even though it can be argued, he is a talented guy...in doing remakes, and dumbing them down to a new generation. When is this guy going to realize he is fast becoming a real joke ?
Follow Ups:
At first sight, you may be correct, but I think the problem is more complex, there maybe TWO kinds of remakes.
The first one is the one you described, the second one is the remake from the director himself, who always re-made the same picture, again and again, searching the perfection that always elude one...One day I shant paint my masterpiece....
To oppose to the studios " money remakes " ) or the golden cows....
Really, what can ANY other director, offer to ANY film, that's already been taken to the heart of it's fans, even many generations later ?Not alot, other than some quicky vehicle, for A Deal to be consumated, for someone's benefit, OTHER than the film viewer.
For example, I can see how, bringing "Solaris" to a new generation of film goers would be a great opportunity to share a classic...but all it did, was bring George Clooney's nude behind, to their attention
...somehow that's ironic and poetic, to me, and so it seems to Clooney himself !
