Over the past few years film especially in Hollywood has overshadowed by a ever increasing list of remakes been made and as past history seems to show a lot unwelcomed pointless proven just to be $$$ cows. For the film studio's looking for that elusive film to remake never have we seen a studio or filmmaker actually look back to the golden era of cinema 1930s, 40's even 1950's until now.
THE DEEP BLUE SEA which closed this year's London Film Festival, closing to some fantastic honest reviews is based on the classic Terrence Rattigan play which was originally a film from 1955 starring Vivien Leigh, Kenneth More with 2011 version Rachel Weisz along Tom Hiddleston in Romantic drama of forbidden love, suppressed desire, and the fear of loneliness between a with of a British Judge (Weisz) and a Royal Air force pilot (Hiddleston). The film's director Terrence Davies recently had a chat about the film in a video interview which you can watch below.
I'm not totally against film remakes, as long as they merit been remade for today's cinephiles, not made just for the sake of been a cash cow, films from the early part of 20th century. I like to see a few more been made simply down to the fact many younger film fans may not appreciate them but watching a modern remake like Terrence Davies film may just encourage those fans to watch weekend tv or pick up a dvd version of those films and realise there's a lot of quality out there
The Deep Blue Sea is out now in UK&Ireland released by Artificial Eye.
