Naomi Watts perfect for the lead in the remake


This is my favorite Poe film. Naomi Watts not only has good experience with horror and thriller films, but she also resembles Elizabeth Shepherd. I hereby nominate Naomi for a remake of this Poe classic.

Why would you want this, or any other good film remade?

It could bring attention to the original.

sounds like a good Idea to me

Naomi Watts would indeed be great in it

I'd pay to see Naomi Watts in a remake of this film. I think Johnny Depp would be great for Verden Fell.

I'd watch Naomi Watts in a remake of this, just as I'd watch Naomi Watts balancing her checkbook, but I'd rather see her make some original films.

I agree Doc. By the way, is that a Russian name?

Why make a remake? Just make a different adaptation of the original story.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he wasn't a great big pansy.

I agree. Make another adaptation that more closely focuses on Ligeia herself. Ligeia being a raven-haired Mediterranean woman (not a blonde Brit like Watts). I would love to see someone like Asia Argento or even Bojana Novakovic....
