But, again, their exchange on the train is so strange....I'm not much interested in the remake either. I don't understand how apparently self-respecting actors can be comfortable with participating in the remake of a classic. When has one ever matched the strengths of the original?
Follow Ups:
...I use this sequence to explain the term "non sequitur".
I think the first remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" captures the power and terror of the original and adds a bit of humor, as well. The later remake, simply called "Body Snatchers" is a waste of time.The "A Star is Born" remake from 1954 is successful as well (but not the horrible 1970's version).
Scorcese's "Cape Fear" remake was not bad, esapecially in his re-use of the Herrman music.
The fifties remake of "Back Street" with Susan Heyward is a successful attempt.
It'll be intersting to see how Peter Jackson's "King Kong" turns out.
