Wow, this surprised me a lot. Nicole Kidman is signed to lead in the new Body Snatchers movie according to Coming Soon.
Nicole Kidman is set to play the lead in Invasion, German director Oliver Hirschbiegel’s remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, reports Production Weekly.
The Warner Bros. release, written by Dave Kajganich, will center on Carol (Kidman) who uncovers a conspiracy in a small town where the inhabitants’ personalities seem to be changing.
Production on the new version will begin in October.
I don’t know, this film has been remade a lot and I really do think that in the previous versions they’ve managed to cover quite a few different angles and feelings in the world at the time. So what’s left? I’m not so sure that there is any feeling that this movie could capture right now, so it’s going to have to survive on a more entertaining level.
Blah, blah, blah. Let’s face it, Kidman has signed up and that means a lot in my book…then there’s always Bewitched or The Interpreter to think about.
What do you think? Has this sweetened the news of another remake of this movie, or have your views remained the same…and what are they?
