BAD REMAKE IDEA OF THE WEEK: HITCHCOCK'S "REBECCA"
Classic movie lovers should try to restrain themselves as the remake train keeps rolling along. The latest idea is to have a redo of Alfred Hitchcock's 1940 classic Rebecca, the esteemed director's only film to be awarded a Best Picture Oscar. Joan Fontaine, Laurence Olivier and Judith Anderson starred in the screen adaptation of Daphne DuMaurier's 1938 gothic mystery novel. We suppose we can look forward to that stalwart cast being replaced by Adam Sandler, Cameron Diaz and Rosie O'Donnell
More like Amanda Seyfried, Michael Fassbender, and Emma Thompson, but that still doesn't make it a good idea.
ReplyDeleteDon't like Adam Sandler, and I DETEST Rosie O'Donnell.

This opens up a whole new field of casting. The Maltese Falcon, starring Rob Schneider and Paris Hilton.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine a worse cast. Really, I can't.
