“You really can't do a remake. I mean, 'King Kong' needed its turn to be remade. It needed an update. But the 'Bad News Bears,' or 'The Shaggy D.A.,' those are classic movies. I think they did a good job of remaking them, but it's just not the same thing. Nobody can top Tatum O'Neal. It just isn't the same.” ThinkingMeanJobsTurnsBearsKingsNeededNewsClassicGood JobBad NewsRemakesUpdatesKing KongClassic Movie Author:Carly Schroeder
“Like any classic you hope to get rid of all the varnish that's built up over the centuries where people expect it to be in a certain way. It's a mighty play. It's about a very old king who also happens to be a very old father, so you've got the state and the domestic levels in there together. It's a story in extremis. Everyone knows the end, there's only two people left alive.” PeopleKnowsWayTwoEndsStatesPlayStoriesHappensTogetherCertainFatherLeftLevelsAliveCenturyKingsBuiltClassic Author:Geoffrey Rush
“That's really the big inspiration of this movie. It's really looking at a man who's really showing all the traits and all the characteristics of the classic patriarchal country, where he's of military power, he's the king of the hill at home, as well as in the streets. He has the liberty to live where he wants.” MenWantWellsCountryHomeBigsInspirationLibertyStreetsMilitaryKingsHillsClassicCharacteristicsTraitsMilitary Power Author:Oren Moverman
“Kate Winslet [for Steve Jobs movie, 2015] is the darling. If you wanna be the king you gotta kill the king. I think Charlotte [Rampling] is the dark horse on this one. No one does classic beauty better than her.” IfsThinkingDoeJobsDarkKingsHorseClassicDarlingKateCharlotteClassic BeautyDark Horse Author:Bun B
