Better a decent remake than a bad original, don't you think?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If a remake is not good, no one wants to see it and, again, it doesn't hurt the original.
Personally, I'm not too fond of remakes.
I don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.
Certain remakes are great. Carpenter's The Thing is better than the original.
If you are going to remake a film, you may as well remake a classic.
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.
The trouble with remakes is that people fall in love with the original. It's like peanut butter. If you try to change the taste of peanut butter, you're in trouble.
Well I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.
I would never try and do a remake off a movie. I think that's a whole different thing. I think everyone will always remember the first movie, and they will always compare it with the second one.
I'm not a big fan of remakes. I never wanted to do a remake.
