10 Upcoming Movie Remakes That Must Be Stopped

By Sam Hill /

10. Don't Look Now

"Don€™t embarrass yourselves by making it," said Donald Sutherland with regards to the news that seminal horror classic Don't Look Now is set to be remade by StudioCanal. "Don€™t embarrass yourselves by participating in it," he added. "It€™s bullsh*t." It's always nice when an actor publicly denounces a remake for everybody to see - especially when it's an actor from the original film. Sutherland starred as the lead - alongside Julie Christie - in Nicolas Roeg's nightmarish, sexually-charged meditation on losing a child, which took place in an eerie, fog-covered Venice during the down season. Don't Look Now is the very definition of a movie that should never be remade; its status as a horror tour-de-force (and as one of the best British films of all-time) ensures such a thing. There is very little chance that a remake, no matter how well put-together it might be, could capture the greatness of the original movie. But try telling that to StudioCanal. "It€™s just people wanting profit, trying to profit off the back of Nicolas Roeg, and something that€™s very beautiful," Sutherland went on to say. "It€™s shameful. They should be ashamed of themselves.€ Take the title of remake literally and avert your gaze when it's released.
