The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

June 28, 2022June 26, 2022 · Leave a comment ·

Audiences have a hard time embracing conclusions, always calling for more. You might have moved on as a creative, with new projects on the horizon, yet still, audiences want more stories, or at least a supposed better conclusion. In 2021, after some personal tragedy and … Continue reading The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

June 23, 2022June 17, 2022 · Leave a comment ·

The modern world does have a great appetite for information, with current estimates equating the total amount to 44 zettabytes of world knowledge (or about 44 trillion gigabytes) and is expected to grow daily. The need to get this information across has evolved and been … Continue reading Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

Total Recall (2012)

June 21, 2022June 17, 2022 · Leave a comment ·

The art of a good remake is a complicated business; you want the best elements to shine forth in the new medium or at least comment without repeating the previous work verbatim. In the 90s, Paul Verhoeven adapted Philip K. Dick’s novel to great acclaim. … Continue reading Total Recall (2012)

Taffin (1988)

June 16, 2022June 11, 2022 · Leave a comment ·

We often root for the underdog, the David overcoming the Goliath, it’s even easier when the Goliath is being unscrupulous, and when David has a little help for himself. In 1988, a taut thriller about corrupt undertakings, justice and defending your home was adapted from … Continue reading Taffin (1988)

Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990)

June 14, 2022June 11, 2022 · 2 Comments ·

There’s a morbid fascination with killers, and why they do the horrific acts that they do, leading to the resurgence of true crime as entertainment. The genre has itself become quite a multimedia sensation, but the real-life impact of these acts might be blinded by … Continue reading Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990)

Bates Motel (1987)

June 9, 2022June 4, 2022 · 1 Comment ·

As the barrage of remakes, reboots, and legacy sequels keep reminding us, never underestimate the power of a brand name. A franchise’s most recognisable and distinctive elements can be repurposed and reshaped to fit any mould. Even if the elements are the least bit tangentially … Continue reading Bates Motel (1987)

Psycho III (1986)

June 7, 2022June 4, 2022 · 1 Comment ·

When you play a prolific character multiple times, it can get into your head. Sometimes this can lead to typecasting, others can offer terrific insight in guiding the future for said character, as more material is required to satiate a growing audience appetite. In 1986, … Continue reading Psycho III (1986)

Psycho II (1983)

June 2, 2022May 26, 2022 · 3 Comments ·

The centuries-old debate over whether a person can be reformed, or if a leopard can change its spots, are important questions. It’s certainly not a topic that can be succinctly answered in half a paragraph. But it certainly makes for some interesting, drama, and even … Continue reading Psycho II (1983)

Psycho (1998)

May 31, 2022May 26, 2022 · Leave a comment ·

How do you possibly begin to remake a film like Psycho? A film that remains one of the most iconic and prised gems in the crown of Alfred Hitchcock’s filmography? A film that is revered as the genesis of the slasher-horror genre. A better question … Continue reading Psycho (1998)

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1988)

May 26, 2022May 20, 2022 · Leave a comment ·

When it comes to adapting, certain elements are bound to be removed to make the finished piece work for the new medium. Other times, exciting elements are added, created out of whole cloth to ease the transition. While diehard fans might see this as sacrilege, … Continue reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1988)
