I sure hope not. Why do they keep remaking great movies?
Then the remake ends up being a disaster. bleah.

true - although Hitchcock remade his own film "the man who knew too much" and the new film turned out to be a bigger hit than the original! I'm a 3rd year uni student and am doing remakes for my dissertation which could be quite fun.
i think if this film was to be remade they'd have to keep the locations and actors within britain in order to retain the same atmosphere - i just don't think u'd find characters like these anywhere else but in the seedy underside of late 1950s britain.

I read that Peeping tom was remade, of sorts, as an art installation...
