I don’t want to see this remade, but if it has to be done, I would like to see Paul Verhoeven direct it.

I’m finding remakes easier and easier to ignore, so if this one is crap, I may never know.

The anime was pretty fun and I’m sure a remake if done well could be quite visually stunning. This is a film that is old enough that remaking it doesn’t feel completely wrong.

I’m split on remakes. On the one hand I understand, and agree with, most of the arguments for NOT remaking these classic films and I won’t go into them. But then I think about music… and songs get “remade” or (using the accepted term) covered, all the time. And I ask myself, what is the difference exactly? Why is it OK for Michael Buble to re-record and rearrange Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World (if indeed Armstrong’s is the first version) and not for Mr. Bigshot Awesome Filmmaker to re-do Classic Film?

Fritz Lang died in ‘76.

Leave his films alone.
