write this, I must admit that it’s the truth when I say that this may be the one
remake that I have no problem with whatsoever. That film being
Michael Haneke’s FUNNY GAMES, and here’s why I must admit that I don’t
mind the remake.
The original was written
and directed by Michael Haneke, and the remake, was
also written and directed by Michael Haneke; and to take that a step further
apparently this will be an exact remake of the first, scene for scene, shot for
shot. Which is why I must admit that the fact that it’s being remade doesn’t
bother me all that much.
Now I’m not entirely sure why
someone has decided to do it this way, but if the films original creator can get
on board with a re-shooting of his own work, I guess it can’t be all that bad.
This new version will feature Tim Roth and Naomi Watts as the young couple who
are terrorized at their lake house by a pair of white gloved sadistic killers.
With all that in mind, some pictures
have popped up online over at
UHM, and while not incredibly exciting images,
you can get an idea of what the film may look like.
So what say all of you? Whose seen
the original FUNNY GAMES, and what do you think of Haneke remaking his
own work? Spit some bullets below and let us all know.
