Ahem, "boy meets girl, girl turns out to be raving psychopath" - that's not a remake of "Strangers on a Train", that's a remake of "Detour".
Or FATAL ATTRACTION.
...or many, many others. But certainly not a remake of STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Btw, DETOUR came up because I happened to see it again tonight. Great movie. The quality/budget ratio is probably unbeatable.
I shudder to think what this new adaptation will be like...
I'm with Cullen. What are they doing? God help us all!

What makes people think they can exploit or improve on a classic? Remember the remake of SCARLET LETTER by Nathaniel Hawthorne? The minister was the hero in that remake. Give me a break!
