The long history of such adaptations includes successes such as The Magnificent Seven and A Fistful of Dollars — and a parade of losers such as Point of No Return and this year's Just Visiting. The road is littered with English-language adaptations that flopped, said director Cameron Crowe, who nevertheless attempted one of his own: Vanilla Sky, which opens tomorrow and is based on Alejandro Amenabar's Spanish-language Open Your Eyes. Some foreign-language remakes do not translate well because the original was too rooted in its home culture. Some fail because Hollywood weakens their charm by loading them with studio conventions, such as explosions or car chases. Some are simply badly made. Ultimately, the fate of a foreign-language remake depends on the same balance that makes or breaks any film adaptation: remaining faithful to the spirit of the original while transferring it to Hollywood's often grander scale. Vanilla Sky, starring Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz — reprising her role from Open Your Eyes — follows the original film's plot, in which a privileged young man falls into delusional alternate realities after a disfiguring car wreck. But Crowe turns Vanilla Sky into a wild survey of pop culture and music. Crowe fleshes out some characters and dialogue and laces the film with humor. He even got permission to shut down Times Square for a pivotal scene in which Cruise races alone through the abandoned streets. Cruise, who starred in Crowe's Jerry Maguire, picked up the remake rights for Open Your Eyes and brought the project to Crowe, whose previous films were founded on his own original screenplays. Crowe said he had never considered a foreign-language remake, and had the original been steeped in Spanish culture, he probably would not have touched it. "But this one was different because it's so open-ended," Crowe said. And with Cruise's box-office luster, Vanilla Sky stands a decent chance of joining the list of commercially successful foreign-language adaptations.
