Sleuth was a great movie, and I agree than no remake is necessary.

Re: Sleuth
So...Jude Law re-emerges at last. Oh, and I never saw the original film.Usivius wrote:on the topic of remakes, the classis "Sleuth" is being redone.
The original was fantastic and starred Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine. In the remake, they have Michael Caine (playing Olivier's role) and Jude Law ...
Maybe they'll be using fancy, gratuitous 3D graphics on slick, modern kumpewters to do their sleuthing...sounds interesting, yet, I'm sorry to sound like a prude, "WHY" remake this classic? There is nothing about it that needs a revamp! No updated FX needed, no obsolete references...
C'MON!
That's promising. Branagh usually associates himself with good projects.But the cast is interesting ... and whose directing?... Kenneth Branagh...
