Over at
The Circuit,
Mike Jones reveals the
possibility of a remake of the summer box office darling
Man On Wire. According to him,
Robert Zemeckis has the rights and could do a motion capture remake in the same style as
The Polar Express and
Beowolf.
Man On Wire is one of the most powerful films I've seen this year and
James Marsh's use of archival footage, the charisma of
Philippe Petit and clever recreated scenes makes the doc more than, well, a doc, but a thrill ride. I can't imagine why a remake is waranted, or how it could top Marsh's film (even with the use of visual effects).
But I guess that thinking doesn't come into account when making money is the motivating factor.
