Episode 220: Death Wish (2018)
Manage episode 224736445 series 2416579
Some movies are so nice, that studios just can't help but make them twice; thus we have the dreaded remake. They can offer filmmakers the opportunity to carry out a unique vision to new audiences while still showing the up most respect to the original story. And then you have remakes like Death Wish. Remakes that just exist. That when it's all said and done and the credits roll you say "Welp, that was a movie." This is not the Paul Kersey and Death Wish we love, this is just Bruce Willis and Eli Roth getting a paycheck from a remake that was caught in development hell.
