No, honestly, please, dear God, don't, I beg you, please, Don't Look Now
Yes, the producer of Hard Rain, Paulie and The Patriot, Mark Gordon, is remaking Don't Look Now, reports the Reporter's Gregg Kilday. When the new guys came on board at Paramount, they started rifling the library. Says Gordon's senior vp Josh McLaughlin, "I've always been a big fan of Don't Look Now and we thought it was a movie that could be updated. We owe a lot to [the screenwriter] who... hit the ground running with the movie's ideas of death and life and looking for something just beyond life." The original film, Gordon added, "was very much of its time, with a lot of atmospherics that wouldn't necessarily work today. But it has a great idea and a wonderful backdrop and setting. We hope to take the feeling of the story, continue to set it in Venice and make it contemporary." (Okay, where's that claw hammer when you need it most?)
