"Rebecca" Remake from Netflix (Armie Hammer, Lily James)

[Eddie Dean]

That's the rumor

Hammer is allegedly pretty bad in this. I also can't believe that one Doctor actor who looks like the dude from Mask (1985) cheated on Lily James with Claire Foy. Eh.

Hammer is bad in everything. #comeatmecmbynstans

I still need to watch the original (I know) before I check this out.

You may enjoy this more if you don’t see the original first. I mean, after Hitchcock and Laurence Olivier... the director of High-Rise and Armie “Lone Ranger” Hammer can’t really compete.

That was actually pretty good. I mean it's not Hitch, but I'm willing to give it a shot now. Seeing Mrs. Danvers and the look of Manderley gave me a good feeling.

Funny that Lily James is the New Mrs. De Winter, when that character is pretty much Cinderella all grown up.

 

[Schlosser85]

Is Lily James with Chris Evans or someone like that now?

Supposedly.

 

[Schlosser85]

I thought Hammer was good in J. Edgar. I haven't seen Call Me By Your Name which I guess makes me a bad gay.

 

[jmc]

He's good looking, plays Captain America, and is dating Lily James? **** you Evans.

 

[Dark Raven]

Trailer incoming, apparently.

When are you going to finish your Hitchcock reviews? Then afterwards you can review all the Hitchcock remakes in the same thread, including this film.

Not that I would ever doubt this, but I especially don't doubt it here based on his delivery of that "little fool" line, because he sounds like he's in that Kevin Costner in Prince of Thieves realm of "I'm not sure if I want to seriously try an English accent or not."

Gotta say, I haaaaate the music in this trailer. It just feels all wrong to me. I hope that's just Netflix's doing and not reflective of the actual tone of the film, otherwise, no bueno.

I have ONE left. Let it simmer, dammit!! No it's coming. Probably not this week, but maybe next week, depending on if my work opens back up as we've been prepping for or not.

I'm not sure if I want to watch all the Hitchcock remakes out there, but I'll certainly review the ones I do.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Decent enough trailer and central performances look solid enough but nothing beats Hitch for me.

There's Rebecca, A Perfect Murder, The 39 Steps (1959), The Thirty Nine Steps (1978), Psycho, Rear Window, the upcoming Strangers on a Train. Can't remember what else. I don't think there are too many.

Saboteur seems like a film that could be remade for modern audiences.

The ending of The Thirty Nine Steps (1978) seems more like a Hitchcock film than the Hitchcock original.

I watched the original last night. Overall, I loved it, but my god... I so wanted to do this to Mrs. Van Hopper:

She was the worst. lol

 

[shauner111]

Armie Hammer is worthless.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Production values look good and the film itself looks like it's gonna rest on Lily James shoulders.

My review:

At the Movies with Kane and BN

 

[Black Narcissus]

Only watched the first 20 minutes or so, will eventually get back some other time. Lily James is holding everything together tho, Hammer's awful accent. I wouldn't care if Lily James cheated on me with Dominic West, just give me every other weekend.
