I think the original film is great, and a remake would add nothing.
What do you think needs changing? |

Completely agree with Purity.
Probably the best movie of a Stephen King novel - I can't imagine it being bettered by releasing a newer version of it. Certainly can't imagine anybody portraying Annie Wilkes better than Kathy Bates did. And we definitely don't want Stephen King getting his hands on it the same way he did with the watered-down made-for-TV version of The Shining that came out five or so years ago - that was abysmal. Best left alone.

I can't see any possible reasonable reason to remake this film whatsoever.
It's a fine enough film as it is. What's to change? Do they need to add flashy special effects for a 'modern audience'. I've see this term bandied around a lot recently, where TV or film production tries to flog something to us by claiming something's being made for a 'modern audience'. Which often tends to result in the finished product being about just style and zero substance, and a very poor end result. |

Terrible idea. The movie is still not all that old.
And anyone who tried to take on the role of Kathy Bates character would be writing themselves one long suicide note as far as their career is concerned. |

Rather than a remake, why don't you just read the book and imagine who YOU want each character to be. Problem solved.

Oh no way. The film is fantastic,but i wish they featured more in the film of what happened to Paul in the book - Annie is much nastier!
She chops his thumb off and cuts his feet off with an axe before burning the open wounds! |

It's a good film because of the performances and because they stuck to King's book (although they didn't go as far with the content level...but there's probably only about 2 King films that have done ever). But you've GOT to admit that this wasn't a difficult film to make, what with most of it being in that one room and James Caan is just in bed. Something like IT is much more difficult to adapt.

I dont think anyone could be as good as Kathy Bates, but i would still like to see a remake, but Kathy Bates is Annie.
