Oh Dear Yet another remake.....

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2003)

I have not seen this remake and I probably won't unless it turns up on cable one cold and night and I have been strapped to the sofa. The issue is, why is Hollywood continuely making these remakes? Most do not make money. It seems that the heads of the studios there have very little up top. Relying on title recognition to sell the tickets! As a film maker with more than a dozen original scripts sitting on my desk, it appears to me that originality is no longer the bye-word in Hollywood. It was Hollywood that led the world in originality. Now every movie has to cost US$50M minimum, lacks originality and is full of talentless or ill fitting stars. Charlie's Angels & Mission Impossible screwed with the original style, Psycho should never have been remade.... the list goes on.... for goodness sake someone in Hollywood go and give the studio heads all a labotomy.
