I apologize to any other LTROI fans who will also never be tempted to watch LMI. It was mealy-mouthed of me to say "it isn't at the top of my list." It isn't on my list at all and never will be. However, it was not wrong of me to say it's probably a pretty good movie and that I respect those who found it to be so. No "pretty good" movie is intentionally on my list.

I have no problems with remakes. I wish Tim Burton would do a remake of Let the right one in. :cry: :lol:

I can imagine some cool riffs in animation. How about Amy Scott's LTROI meets Twilight?

I agree we need another remake. LMI is a very good, excellent reworking of the story. Yet I shudder at at what Tim Burton might do with LTROI. There are so many talented filmmakers... let's elect somebody else.

Er, I guess Frank Miller is out, too, then. (Just kidding.) ;)

As long as Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham-Carter weren't in it I'd be curious to see what Burton would do. At minimum it wouldn't be as derivative as LMI.

Maybe Johnny Depp as the vampire lord in Eli's Flashback? :mrgreen:
Well, only a little role would be possible for him.

After seeing Hugo, I nominate Martin Scorsese.

It could be interesting to see what Hayao Miyazaki could do with this story.

I would like to see a comic version drawn by Rolf Gohs. I think he is the one to pull that through convincingly.
