Okay guys, start your damn bitching about another "remake". Whatever, if it looks good I'll check it out, remake or not.

i really dont care. i thought the origianl was just okay. i dnt really like the fantasy-horror genre. but if this looks good and a decent cast, i MIGHT watch it.

I LOVED the original! I wasn't aware that they were going to remake it. We'll see how it goes....

Didn't this movie just come to theaters like 2 years ago? Oh well, no point in bitching. we all know hollywood is collapsing, so whatever they can do to make a big buck in order to keep dishing out these pointless and stupid ass remakes in order to stay in business, is fine by me. A stripper strips to pay the bills, and a producer rips off classics to pay theirs. Fair enough.

This just got a bit more interesting....

This is a recent movie that really doesn't need a American remake. Just watch the damn movie with subtitles.

agree... Its way too recent and too many americans know about its existence due to its many tv spots announcing its limited release, so they probably checked it out at least on dvd... too soon...

WENDIGO was really good and sad and creepy all in one. i think this guy could be a worthy director for this (although i'm with those who think the movie is PERFECT as it is and DOES NOT need a remake).

JGrayland, right? This just bolted to the top of my "pay attention" list.

Outstanding. Whilst I'm of the opinion that a remake is redundant, let's face it, it's also inevitable. Fessenden is for my money one of the best genre directors working today, the fact that he's also got Del Toro backing him says it all. The Orphanage is a very good film, but not the masterpiece some hail it as. But with these two working together we could be in for something a bit special.

The original isn't THAT good especially for replay value it's very boring so I hope this remake is way better. :)

Tomas is one scary little bitch.

I love the origional film but it only came out a few years ago, this is just another completely unnecessary remake that'll never have the effectiveness of the origional. Quarantine anyone...

This has got to be most ridiculous one yet. The thing was released IN THE US two years ago.

In an era where Globalizing everything is major... It just seems odd to see remake after remake after remake, within a few years of release. Insomnia sucked several years ago. The Eye as well. The Ring was so so, though it made money and probably is most responsible for flooding the market with Asian Horror. But for the life of me, I've not seen one single remake that has been better than the original. None.

I'm excited about this, even if it is a remake. I Sell the Dead was amazing...so let's hope he continues in this.

This is ridiculous to say the least. This movie just came out a few years back and it's already being remade? Believe it or not horror fans know how to read subtitles. Christ.

I don't care if it is a remake. The original was amazing. The lack of subtitles is going to hurt though, as it makes you concentrate harder on a movie. As long as they limit the dialogue and don't overact, I think this will be worthwhile. American movies, over the past 10 years or so, have too much dialogue, acting, overacting, etc. The basic, almost nonchalant, nature of the original makes it more real and sensitive. Casting is going to be the deciding factor for me. I'd like to see Radha Mitchell in this.

the original wasnt very good in my opinion.. actually pretty boring

I thought the original had a haunting sense to it. I liked and didn't mind the subtitles. That scene with the old womans jaw hanging from her face gets me everytime freaky shit man.

Maybe the re-make will be a horror movie, I felt the original's downfall was that it turned into a fucking fantasy in the third act, and I hated the happy ending.

I thought the happy ending was nice....for a horror movie a happy ending is actually quite original!

I really liked the original. It had a great atmosphere...

I love the oringal alot.... happy he's doin it... amazing movie... scared the shit out of me, made me cry. Should be good....

cool director, but again, why a remake? he doesn't need to be remaking stuff that's basically being remade so that the 'simple' people can watch the orphanage too. he should just go one where he's going not do a step back.
