Spike ,'Get It Done'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
And the point of that was ...?
As far as I could tell, the point was, if you make Norman large and physically threatening looking and Marion almost waifishly tiny and desexualize her, it kinda changes the visual narrative into something much less interesting.
Wasn't Rebecca itself a conscious attempt to create a Jane Eyre type story, though?
Maybe. That doesn't have anything to do with how good the original film adaptation was.
Or maybe spend less on special effects, CGI, big names, etc. - the movie would need to generate less income to make a profit.
I miss the old "B" movies.
I think the idea of "adapting" the game Battleship into a movie is incredibly ludicrous
They did, in the '70s. It was called Midway.
Series of movies could be built around a single character -- think of Nick and Nora Charles.
They are also from books!

Goddamn Harry Potter. Did you know they were BOOKS first?
I just meant that he named Nick and Nora and then also someone from a book.
I can't see the point in remaking something that was done nearly perfectly the first time around
Well, many MANY people thought the miniseries of "Tinker, Tailor" was perfect, but the film remake added some wonderful layers.
No, I'm just being a dork.
And suddenly wondering if the Harry Potter movies will be remade in 50 years. Egad.

They won't wait 50 years.
