Hollywood movie remakes revamp classic storylines
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—Cameron Crowe's coming Vanilla Sky is a reinvention of the Spanish thriller Open Your Eyes, with Penelope Cruz reprising the role she played in the original.
Down to Earth updated Heaven Can Wait, itself a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan.
This summer's Planet of the Apes was a reimagining — not a remake, says director Tim Burton — of the 1968 sci-fi hit.
The Mummy Returns and Dr. Dolittle 2 were sequels to remakes, while 102 Dalmatians was a sequel to a live-action remake of an animated movie.
Fresh off his best-director Oscar win, Steven Soderbergh revisits Ocean's Eleven, the 1960s casino-robbery flick that
starred Frank Sinatra and friends.
H. G. Wells' great-grandson Simon Wells is directing a new adaptation of The Time Machine.
Often, however, Hollywood views remakes as easy money with minimal effort.
Remakes can put modern twists on classic films and introduce the stories to new audiences. Some are considered great.
Whether for honorable artistic reasons, crass commercial ones or simply because it's time to trot out some old ideas again, there sure are a lot of remakes kicking around Hollywood.
"It's like the music industry, where it's easy to capitalize on a hook, something Freddie Mercury sang, then throw a rap over it," said Jim Cavielez, who
stars in the newest The Count of Monte Cristo, due out early next year.
The Time Machine marks Simon Wells' live-action film making debut after he directed or co-directed such animated movies as Balto and The Prince of Egypt. George Pald a film adaptation of The Time Machine in 1960.
It was Wells' relationship with Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks studio — rather than his link to H.G. Wells — that led to the directing gig.
He has worked with Spielberg since the mid-1980s, and DreamWorks is producing The Time Machine.
Wells said he never had a burning desire to adapt one of his great-grandfather's novels, but "it seemed too good a connection to miss out on."
