Hollywood purposely remakes old box office hits each generation in hopes that the new generation will have no clue that it was ever made prior ( usually with better actors and scripts ) and also hoping to bank $$$ on it. Look how many times a star is born was made and many many other films. I do like all the actors involved in this movie and will certainly watch it. I also enjoy comparing how these new movies might or might not stack up to the originals. |
Does Hitchcock receive any royalties for all these Rear Window knock-off? |
@ Fear375 The book is always better Give me the book over the movie every time |
@ Guest-1537 Like in music we should view these derivative movies as a ♫ canon - a variation on a theme ♫ - Hitchcock's Canon in Amy Adams Major |
Wonder what the next one in the Rear Window 'franchise' going to be called - Window at the Rear? Woman in the Window at the Rear? |
And none of you cinematographic experts even mention 'Gaslight', simply because there is a window and someone looks through it? Wow. |
Is that Amy Adams both in the screenshots and on the cover? If so she looks a helluva lot older on the screenshots I really hope Amy Adams isn't turning into another Michelle Pfiefer looks-wise |
................................... It was Watchable & Had a Twist. Gary Oldman is Gary Oldman, Great In Almost Any Movie. & Amy Adams Is Sexxy. |
There's a Rear Window knock-off at least once a year now, and that's jus the studio ones, and not even counting the indie ones. |
Back in the day when I saw the name Gary Oldman I thought 'must watch' but now given some of his recent movie adventures I am not so sure and like Nic Cage, Danny Trejo and Bruce Willis it does kind of put me off But saying that, I haven't watched this move - so it is all up in the air This movie could swing either way |
I'm watching a lot of REAL stinkers these days. This flick was fine. Original? Hardly. Amy Adams is good and has a couple other names to help her out. Not bad IMO. Movie: 7.5 Video\Audio: 10 |
Please y'all, watch a movie before you comment on it, okay? The movie is quite entertaining, with enough twists to keep you guessing what's going on until the very end. So who cares if someone did something remotely similar before? Do you not enjoy music that uses the same key, the same chords, the same rhythm and tempo as a zillion others? |
