Hey folks, Harry here with another story that popped up in Hollywood Reporter. This time, it is a remake of a film that should only be remade with the utmost care. Personally, I don't think it should be remade. Nicolas Roeg's original film is one of the most genuinely perfect haunting, erotic and thrilling films of the 70s. There's only perhaps 2 directors I'd be interested in seeing revisit this material. David Lynch or Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh already revisited the love scene in his way, when he did George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez's love scene in OUT OF SIGHT. I just don't believe we exist in times where actors would be allowed to be as natural as Sutherland and Christie were in this film. Put the actual love scene aside.. that scene of them just getting their day started was just magnificent. I just hope that Andrea Berloff doesn't "thriller" this up.
Mark Gordon is planning to produce a remake of "Don't Look Now" for Paramount Pictures.
The 1973 film, directed by Nicolas Roeg and based on a story by Daphne Du Maurier, created a sensation in the early '70s thanks to a highly erotic love scene featuring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie.
Andrea Berloff will write the screenplay for the adaptation, which centers on a couple, John and Laura Baxter, who go to Venice, Italy, to recuperate after the sudden death of their daughter only to encounter strange visions that suggest their daughter's presence.
