I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's, to go back and reinvent a movie.

It's always that tricky thing with a remake, especially when it's something that's well loved. You're coming to something that has a built-in fascination, but with that comes people ready to feel disgruntled that it's being remade at all.

I don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.

I'm anxious to make another film.

Another thing that really excites me: I'd like to do multiple versions of the same film.

But one of the amazing things about documentary is that you can remake it every time you make one. There is no rule about how a documentary film has to be made.

But you know, as you say, the original versions of my films are getting out there, slowly.

You don't want to remake something that's just been made, as an actor.
