"Metropolis" set to be remade

(1/5) > >>

KvP:
By the people who brought you Oliver Stone's Alexander.

They can't leave well enough alone, can they?

KharBevNor:
I think the biggest salient question here is: what's the point? For a start, Metropolis' central themes are not exactly relevant to the modern world, and to rework them to be so  would leave you with a film that more resembles a remake of Blade Runner. This leads us on to a second point, which is that Metropolis' visuals have been re-imagined by hundreds of movies already.

Lines:
NO! What the hell?! This is one of those movies that people should not even think about remaking.

MusicScribbles:
A question. Is Metropolis worth watching?
Wait, forget I typed that. That's a sentence ready to create fighting words.
What is Metropolis and what would you recommend it with?

KvP:
It's a real silent Expressionist classic, way ahead of its time as far as its art-deco visual design and effects go. It's also recognized by the UN as part of Germany's cultural heritage.

In answer to your question, I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it's an enjoyable film, per se, but it's certainly an important film. I hear that the ending is sort of anticlimactic.
