As Time Goes By

The trailer is out:

It's a remake of the 1971 film directed by Don Siegel and starring Clint Eastwood.

What did people think of the original movie? Any Sofia Coppola fans here?

I've never given The Beguiled (1971) a chance. Always thought it looked really boring. Now, I think I would actually watch it.

I liked The Virgin Suicides (1999). Haven't seen any of her other films.

I'm not a fan of Colin Farrell, so, the remake does not interest me for two reasons (remake, Farrell).

I love the original! This actually looks pretty good and I think they did a nice job with the cast.

This might just do nobody any good.

The original is kind of psychotic. In a good way.

I'm interested in seeing what Coppola does with this. If it's just Kidman ice-queen-ing Southern Gothic style it might be enough for me.

I remember loving the original.

Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.

The original is perfect. The trailer for the new one looks almost exactly the same except for the cast. I guess it's being remade for a new generation. I'll reserve judgment on it, but if it's as good as the original, it would be one of the best movies ever made. Hmm.

The original is cool. I don't feel a need to watch the remake.
