Suspiria Remake
Here is some info on this from Joblo.com :
Just as the legendary and influential 1977 horror flick SUSPIRIA is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary at the Cannes Film Festival comes word that an English-language remake is in the works. David Gordon Green (ALL THE REAL GIRLS) is in talks to direct the film from a script by Scott Heim (MYSTERIOUS SKIN). For the uninitiated, Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA is a horror classic and follows a young girl who travels to Germany to study ballet. Upon her arrival she witnesses a number of mysterious deaths and begins to suspect all is not as it seems as her new academy. But don't just take my word for it - horror guru Arrow in the Head gives it 4 stars and Entertainment Weekly put it at #18 on their list of the scariest movies of all time. Green is currently finishing up the Seth Rogen/James Franco comedy THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS and, if a deal is reached, could make SUSPIRIA his next film. So: a SUSPIRIA remake a good idea or tarnishing a legend?
---------Though almost all remakes lately have just been incredibly awful- as i'm still dreading zombie's 'halloween' remake- There were a few that weren't too bad (Ex: The Hills Have Eyes... but then of course they had to follow it with an awful sequel) Anyway, I actually think this is a good idea, if only because it would bring attention to the original. The original is one of my favorite movies, it stays with you, takes you somewhere else and to be honest I kind of can't watch it all the way through by myself. So yes, if this was done right I think it would be awesome to see this story redone. We'll see....
