I don't what to do anymore. I really don't. The cesspool of uncreativity in Hollywood continues to grow more foul with each passing day. Not only was there a "reimagining" of "Chinatown" and not only we will have to endure the remake of "Bonnie and Clyde" with Hilary Duff but now the hills are alive with rumors of a remake of....."The Third Man", one of the ten finest films ever made.
I first caught wind of this in Roger Ebert's Answer Man column. A reader quizzed the esteemed Mr. Ebert about it to which Ebert replied: "My instinctive reaction was to throw up."
The rumors are rather rough but stated intially the remake was to involve Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire with the former as Harry Lime and the latter as Holly Martins.
I like you, Leo. I do. I will defend "Titanic" from the grave. But playing Harry Lime (Orson Welles)? No. Just no. A gigantic, absolute, unequivocal no. Every actor on the face of the earth and scattered about the rest of the known and unknown universe needs to keep his grubby hands off this role. DO YOU HEAR ME???!!! STAY AWAY FROM HARRY LIME!!!! THIS ROLE IS NOT TO BE REDONE!!!! WHAT KIND OF GOD WOULD ALLOW THIS???!!!!
Deep breaths...deep breaths...a rep for DiCaprio, however, is quoted as saying: "He isn't involved with that project." Whew.
But wait, read more carefully. "He isn't involved with that project." That project? So this means there is a project for remaking "The Third Man"?
Who knows? It's all speculation at this point. But if Hilary Duff can star in a remake of "Bonnie and Clyde" anything, however horrifying, is possible.
One thing is starting become all too clear....the remake of "From Here To Eternity" with Jessica Simpson draws ever closer.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2009/10/sanctity-is-just-eight-letter-word.html
