Wish for a competent remake.


Keyword: competent

Anyone else agree?

I'd rather see some other Alistair Maclean material such as The Black Shrike or Night without End tried out as a mini series on a premium channel to capture the full elements of the novels. To the best of my knowledge they've never been adapted. And yes, there's that keyword: competent.

I don't think it needs remade. How are they gonna top that exhilarating score and Alps flyover? Clint Eastwood? Burton? The (non-CGI) castle? The women?

Yeah they’d probably screw it up trying to reach a large audience, make it pg13 level of violence. I’m sure they could find a real castle somewhere though you see them all the time in movies.

Or they'd have to make it totally PC.
