Well, today, in addition to doing a lot of work on the annual trailer show for SFSFS, I watched the two movies Im covering in the next The Remake Chronicles for FANTASTIC STORIES OF THE IMAGINATION. So: two movies, made thirty-six years apart. First one, an acknowledged great film based on a classic novel by one of the most talented short story writers of the twentieth century, featuring one of the great complex, fully-realized tragic characters in genre history. Second one, a remake that sees the same story as an excuse to cut loose with special effects, removes all the ambiguity, and reduces that character to superhero of sorts: a bit of a war crime, really. Not a movie I would use to bolster my position that remakes dont always suck.
