It's a crazy decision and I hope it's one that, like the oft mooted Suspiria remake, turns out to be nonsense that only rears its ugly head every so often to annoy and irritate us (true) horror fans.
I thought that Romero was losing it just going by the evidence in Survival of the Dead, but this really is mind boggling. |
We have to think of this business wise. Argento hasn't managed a cross over hit in North America. Romero is someone who goes back along ways with Dario and someone he really and truly trusts.
For Argento a remake of his film which sadly the casual fans dont know as well as we do could mean not just money but exposure on a larger scale.
We all know that Deep Red is a masterpiece but this makes perfect sense for dario.
