Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

There's a strong market for retelling/refilming older films.

Putting thsee iconic classics into new versions using modern syntax and style, with newer tech, always seems like a sure bet. Heston's chariot run was the original car chase, so wha's not to like? The thing is that doing so always invokes unfair criticisms in comparisons, like a sacred cow just got butchered.

And I don't think religious or religious-setting themes do well these days anyway, which is too bad because Exodus: Gods and Kings, with Bale and Edgerton, was one of the best films I've ever seen.

I wonder how long before we'll see new versions of The Maltese Falcon or Casablanca?
