Seems that a member of the original cast felt insulted by it, like their work isn't good enough for another audience, but I'm sure thats how some people involved with foreign films remade for America felt.<BR/><BR/>I don't really watch remakes, anyway. To me thats the first sign that the film is a money-driven product as opposed to someone's vision. Thats not necessarily a bad thing-most films are made specifically to make money, and hey, its people's jobs. I just like to see some originality and freshness when I see a film.Dave Quionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846393156858073228noreply@blogger.com
