You guys haven't already seen this?
Wow, maybe I was wrong for thinking that it was a stupid choice to remake this movie.
The cast is solid, as long as they don't fck up the plot too much with 21st century bells, whistles, sex and violence. The good news is - Frank Oz directing, and at least he has a solid track record of not screwing the pooch.
The original movie was great, but it was shot in a style that just screams "1975!" I commented to my fiancee that it's a great plot, and if it is filmed in a more classic/timeless style, it could really be a winner.
