Is nothing sacred?
Buenas amigos!I was lounging around earlier, tucking into tostada con tomate when suddenly it occured to me. This is becoming the decade of the movie remake! Is nothing sacred?
King Kong, The Ladykillers, Inspector Clouseau, The Italian Job, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Get Carter, to name a few. Why oh why?
I must admit I rather avoid these, dismissing them as shameless money making exploitations of the originals. Are they any good? Its the tip of the iceberg in my opinion, where will the 'remake industry' look next? Here are a few 'adaptations' that would see me buying tickets.
Apocalypse Now (redux) -On Ice.
A faithful adaptation of the epic journey into the heart of darkness on skates. You can almost smell the napalm scenes, albeit in a cool temperature controlled environment.
Silence of the Lambs -Contemporarily Danced.
A dance craze in the making thanks to Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Clarice Starling's mix of robotics and freestyle jive electrifies the night vision sequence.
A Few Good Men - The Silent Movie.
You can't handle the truth!, expressed with a cocktail of sign language, mime artistry and letter cards.

-Tee hee! Reminds me of Snoopy re-enacting War and Peace through the medium of sock puppetry
How about Baz Luhrmann's 'Moulin Rouge' in black and white without any singing or dancing.
Tostada con tomate - my favourite food.
Quest for the Holy Grail via lego... oh no, that's already been done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzPSfM6Fqcg&mode=related&search=
Sock puppetry needs to hit the stage soon....
Moulin Rouge -mute, like it....
Lego Holy Grail, that was the best youtube moment i've had all year...
In short, a Lego animated sock puppet plays a mute in a musical adaptation of War and Peace with Snoopy as guest dancer.
I'd buy that and the sequel!
