I don't see how they can improve upon the orginal outside of technical advancements.

Yeah, seems like the same as wearing a “kick me“ sign on purpose. I’m not going to begrudge them the effort. I wonder what they will to do attract today’s audience?

Depending on who his co star is I'm assuming it may even be from the view point of the kim novack character. Times have changed and if you look at Stewart's character with today's optics he would be classified as a "creep" regardless of his job in the movie.

Can't wait for the CGI vertigo sequences!
And, the ending where Downey narrowly saves the girl from falling while fighting off Machine Gun toting Spanish Monks!

The original might be my favorite Hitchcock film. Not interested in this.

Universal owns the original film as Paramount sold it them in 1964 along with Psycho. How/when did Paramount get the rights back?

I just want to know how the mood of the first film could even be re-done ( maybe thats not what they are going for). Not to mention the fact the story itself probably isn't even the reason most people love this film. This film is truly a mood/drug in my honest opinion.

Cinema as art, the genius of Hitch and Burks.

You've given one answer to your own question.

You've given one answer to your own question.

Exactly, the male lead will come off as a creep and the sex scenes will be enhanced.

I was against this movie until I read that part.

No Sale!

I would guess that the Hitchcock estate owns the remake rights.

And we all know what happened when PSYCHO was remade...This is a bad idea. Arguably, even Hitchcock couldn't top Hitchcock, i.e. THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH.

NO

 

[Polbroth]

It's a shame West Side Story has already been remade, as they could have done a mashup with Vertigo.

I'd also love to see a 2001/Dr. Doolittle remake/mash-up, but Doolittle's been remade TWICE!

If you're going to take a dump on great cinema, it really should include songs.

Brian De Palma has already (sorta) remade Vertigo twice. Can't see a need for another version, particularly in a day when CGI epics are the norm.
