Translation: “I was coming off of a huge professional high, I decided to subvert expectations by making a jerk-off project. I had carte blanche to do whatever I wanted and what I wanted was to remake a classic film that didn’t ever need to be remade.”
A lot of bull shit... Why would you do that??? Just why??? He deserves every inch of criticis he got. The fact that he is trying to spin it as an "experiement" is even more irritating
Remakes suck big time!! No matter what they'd say about them, is like raping the original piece. Hollywood needs to make new stuff. There are a pletora of stories. The thing is, they don't want to risk. They go for the same formula over and over. At the end, people who actually go to see remakes are the responsibles for their existence.
