Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake!

InvasionoftheBodySnatchers.jpgHas some Producer just eyed the IMDB listing for Donald Sutherland and thought “let’s go crazy with the budget”?

Not content with the destruction of Don’t Look Now, FilmForce are reporting that the remake crew are onto Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Okay, not just a Sutherland movie (Spock was in it too!) there have been three others:

…a 1956 film by Don Siegel and a 1978 remake by Philip Kaufman that starred the likes of Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy, as well as one lesser-known 1993 film, starring Terry Kinney, Meg Tilly and R. Lee Ermey.

Still, I’m inclined to think good thoughts about this movie, and you should too, mainly because of who is set to Direct:

German filmmaker Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall, Das Experiment) is set to direct the picture…

If you haven’t seen Das Experiment then you really should. It’s an excellent piece of cinema, and very unnerving. Still, there’s a new writer onboard who’s working on two other scripts, so if it’s a bad script there’s not a great deal the Director can do. IMDB already have a listing for the remake. Thoughts? Other than the obvious remake cries.
