CS: [OSTER] producer Ben Smith says "We are beginning to cast that next week" Paul2k Jul 20, 18:12

Typically I am not a fan of remakes.... But I am looking forward to how they do this one.. {nm} dioneta Jul 20, 18:43

Remake? I thought it was based on a book? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 20, 18:45

The book was previously made into a film in 1983 by Sam Peckinpah. {nm} Paul2k Jul 20, 18:59

There you go. You learn something new every day. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 20, 19:02

personally, I think you are right, its not a remake if its based on other source material {nm} Moviesnob Jul 20, 19:02

What other source material? Its the same book. {nm} dioneta Jul 20, 19:12

right so its not a remake because they are both adapting the same book. The new Robocop is a remake. The new Carrie isnt. {nm} Moviesnob Jul 20, 19:20

So I guess we are arguing semantics here... So, I should have said I am not a fan of "reinterpretations"? dioneta Jul 20, 19:39

yeah, this is just my opinion though {nm} Moviesnob Jul 20, 19:42

Gus van Sant's Psycho. Remake or not? RogerMore Jul 21, 07:33

Technically I'd call Van Sant's Psycho a reinterpretation, but since it was a shot-for-shot reimagining, I suppose "remake" will work too. {nm} eallensbp Jul 23, 10:06
