Perhaps he wants to remind Middle America that their roots are with today's migrants ? I think "Middle America " has more to worry about then where their "roots" are ! Twink

...for all you know, he already has a script and cast.

....he is trying to cash in on the anniversary of Steinbeck's story... Of course he is, that was My first thought too....that, and all the glory that goes with it to the point where you become convinced that He is responsible for Steinbeck's story.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS REBECCA THE THIRD MAN could never be remade, that's for sure.......talk about special lighting !! Edited by: twinkeee on Jul 6, 2013 10:15 PM

Ohh,...an 'Older Woman',...lucky You !!...(.bet she taught you a thing or two ) PS....did you check out the lighting in CITIZEN KANE ?

.....buying myself a 1938 Studebaker... Wow ! ...that must have been a real 'chck magnet" huh ?!

Vincent Price is in it, it should be good ! Twink

...most of the real places shown in the original movie were real places where the original events took place.... All the more reason not to do a re-make, these places are no longer there! ...and let us not forget the lighting in the original movie which also cannot be duplicated in this day and age. Imagine re-making CITIZEN KANE and the lighting that was used in That movie ? Twink

It was my son who told me that the King Kong re-make was not nearly as good as the original which schocked me as I was not aware that he was familiar with the original ! So you see, you can't pull one over on kids either, nor should you !

...and many of the remakes are just awful, such as THE WOMEN, KING KONG (Both of them).... I AGREE...I did not even know about THE LONE RANGER until I read about it on the Boards, that's how fast That One Came & Went ! When some of these re-make's come out, there is Such a big deal made out of it, i.e. THE WOMEN that you almost believe that the movie is an original ! It has been agreed on the boards that THE GRAPES OF WRATH is near Perfect ! So then, why mess with it? People get upset when they end up with a 'bootleg' or fake DVD (rightfully so), because of course the quality is not the same as the original, then I would assume one would feel the same way about a re-make, which is Never anywhere near the original ! It is almost as if the Movie Industry is trying to ripp us of !

Not the first time this certain poster has gotten "ugly' towards other posters! Trust me,Topbilled was being 'polite' in describing the poster's put downs.

I find that very odd. Why do you find that "very odd" when all re-makes have been flops, i.e. THE WOMEN

It may be "fair", however, that does not mean it will be better (which is impossible), or even 'as good as'.

Clore, What does What Price Glory ? have to do with THE GRAPES OF WRATH ? Two different movies ! Twink Edited by: twinkeee on Jul 6, 2013 1:30 PM

Chances are about zero this movie will be as good or better than the classic, and I base that on experience. There is almost nothing they can do to improve the earlier movie. You summarized it best MovieMadness ! Twink

Why do you think some people just can't stand for other people to post their opinions, and they will insult others in all sorts of ways.... ....and make fun of other posters and give them a hard time ! .. They do it because they are insecure and they need to be in control so that They can feel superior!

....there are films that are like the Holy Grail and should not be remade... It is an insult to John Ford to even 'Think" about re-making The Grapes of Wrath.

No kidding TopBilled !......about time somebody said something, Good For You !!

Bless your heart Dargou,....I do hope you get that Honda ! B-) (although,.... I thought for Sure, you were in Love with your TRIUMPH !!!) :| Twink

Why not remake GREED! You're right finance, that's what it is really all about, GREED ! Why settle for a 'knockoff' when we have the 'real thing' ! Twink

Yeah Dargou, and I bet you wouldn't want to give up your Shiny Red Triumph for a Honda Motorcycle ! (I bet the thoughts of it is making you cringe right now ! ) :0

Dargou, .....you're pulling on my heartstrings :| , I don't mean that to be rude, I'm serious. Twink
