| I'm surprised how **LITTLE** buzz there's been considering its a remake of one of the best Japanese movies ever made. Maybe I just answered my own question just now... | YoMama

| #2 | Why watch a remake when the original is so incredible? | TheDenizen

| #3 | They remade "The Hidden Fortress" also, and it will be out on DVD in Japan shortly. Too bad they can't come up with something original instead of wasting time on remaking classics like these. | YoMama

| #4 | Hollywood is in the exact same boat. Creatively stifled (for the most part), all they can do is churn out remakes of exising flicks. It's a sad state. | TheDenizen

| #5 | Still, I'll take a good remake over a bad original film! :) In fact, I always thought it would be interesting to see the same film released directed by 2-3 different directors, just so you could see different takes on the same story and how different people interpret it. I guess that kind of happened with that latest "Exorcist" movie, too bad they both stunk! :) | Choco

| #6 | There's an cool idea! Give a couple of stylistically diverse directors the same working script and see what they come up with. It'd be an expensive experiment, but an intersting one, I think.
If any country would try something like that, the Japanese are as likely as any other | TheDenizen

| #7 | It could actually work very well with a short film. You could have like 3 versions of one 30-minute film, and just release them all as one 3-part film you know?
Hell, so many films are basically the same anyway (horror films are a good example), why not call a spade a spade and make it more interesting by encouraging a direct comparison? | Choco
