Guest limubai2000 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Darren Aronofsky just stated in a CHUD.com interview for his new film The Fountain that the LW&C remake is off as Paramount did not get the remake rights, he did however complete a script for it. It is sorta bad in that we will never get to see his take on the material because Fountain was brilliant, but I guess it's good that they can't ruin the classic films for us either.

Guest Tosh Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have to say I'm kind of glad, Aronofsky doesn't seem like the kind of director to pull this off, I haven't seen the Fountian yet(which I've heard is brillant), but imo Requiem for a Dream was seriously overrated.

Guest monk sante Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 This is good news!:lol Leave this classic alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chen Zhen Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 r u kidding tosh? requiem for a dream is one of the most powerful movies ive seen in recent memory...hes a fantastic writer/director...havent seen fountain yet, but i hear its great, and Pi was exceptional as well. i think he could definetely do LWaC justice, provided the right ppl starred in it.

Guest morgoth Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I didn't like Pi that much bet Requiem for a dream is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tosh Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 r u kidding tosh? requiem for a dream is one of the most powerful movies ive seen in recent memory... Yeah, I know I'm going against popular opinion here, but I just didn't think it was that great, it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't watch it again, unless it was for the nakedness of the beautiful jennifer connely, now that's one piece of hot whitness I could get behind:evil , for drug/heroin movies, I'd take Trainspotting anyday. Arfonsky has never shown that he could do the action that would be required to pull off LWaC, I think it should stay in Japan if they were to do a remake anyways.

Guest morgoth Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 The LW&C remake would have been a disaster of epic proportions. Only thing he could have done good with is the dialogue. ASS TO ASS!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chen Zhen Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 but, to me at least, the lone wolf and cub movies were about more than just the action. with a solid action director at his side, i think he could make a magnificent film.

Guest limubai2000 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'm with CZ, with a decent budget of say $25 million, a good director, a good actor - say maybe Ken Watanabe, and I think it could be redone very well. But in Hollywood that's known as "dream casting" and probably would not have happened as Aronofsky is an "indie" director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tosh Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 My vote for actor would have to be Sanada, maybe he can still do some flips, I read Aronofsky wanted to do Frank Miller's Ronin, now that could be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted May 26, 2021 Member Share Posted May 26, 2021 In a way, the remake had already happened in the form of Road to Perdition (2002). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
