I wouldn’t have a problem with Portman, I just have a problem with this film being re-made, as Argento is against it. Re-making anything Argento is pointless, as his style is so unique. Argento is always involved in the smallest details of his films, which IMO makes them impossible to be “re-imagined”. (Nice new name for “I’m a hack who is stealing someone’s elses vision”) Argento is a visionary genius who should be revered, not disrespected by Hollywood idiots. Whatever. If it does make it to production, I will be too busy with multiple viewings of “Tenebre” and “Phenomena” to care. I have seen “Suspiria” at least thirty times, many others have doubled that, at least. Let’s see if Green’s “flick” can lay claim to that in thirty years.

He should just re-make “Salo”. I think shit eating needs to be “re-imagined”. I mean, it was the 1970’s too, and people eat shit different in this day and age. Am I being sarcastic? Yes. By the way, I am anti re-makes, being a screenwriter with an original idea to sell. Anyone have Green’s cell phone number??

I remember hearing about this a while ago. I think it would be cool. I think David Gordon Green would do well with a horror film. And after the Pineapple Express, he’ll be set to blow up big time.

I would be in all the way for a remake. I love the original and have seen it about 3 times, but I still am just not sure exactly what the story is all about. Creepy as hell, though. The visuals and music are enough to make it worth a watch.

To my understanding she has been in 3 horror films,
Star Wars Episodes 1-3, although i did really like 3, but her performance’s in all 3 were horrifying…

They can do it but it cannot hope to be as visually masterful as the original. The story and character could be better than the original though. I love Dario; but story was never his strong point.

What I wouldn’t give to star in her remake.

I don’t know what that means but it sounds filthy.
