unless they use the original score, this movie will be useless. to be, suspiria is defined by two things:
1. argento\’s garish color schemes and set design
2. Goblin\’s score

and not in that order. beyond those two things, there\’s not a lot going on with the film, frankly

Not to mention the irreplaceable Jessica Harper.
Amazing that G. del Toro cannot get the dough to make \’At the Mountains of Madness\’ but this guy can get the dough to remake an old cult movie.
When\’s Rob Zombie gonna do \’Phantom of the Paradise\’?
Without the irreplaceable Jessica Harper of course.

The original was so idiosyncratic, it\’s idiotic remaking it. It\’s like somebody remaking Mulholland Drive or L\’Age D\’or- you know, something very personal, and that was only possible because of who its creator is. I\’m sure this guy has his own ideas on horror films, why not do something original?
I\’m being naive, I know.

Suspiria is one of my favorite movies of all time and honestly, who cares is it\’s being remade. What isn\’t being remade nowadays. I\’m at least thankful it won\’t be a Michael Bay production. Yeah, and no shit it won\’t use the old technicolor process.

The first one was the last film to use the old Tecnicolor process no way can that be done again.

This guy has a career of diminishing returns. Undertow was ace. Your Highness trailer looks awful.

I for one absolutely lit up when I read the headline. I\’ve been hoping that this film would happen for the either two or three years when I first heard of Gordon Green wanting to do it. But I\’m also not indiscriminately and blindly against remakes.

An original film is never \”ruined\” or soiled by a remake in my view. And a remake is also not always purely about a studio trying to cash in on an idea. This is an interpretation of a film that has been one of my favorites for years, from a director who I am also a great fan of.

This is quite different from \”[Studio] sets forth on Suspiria Remake! Numerous writers and directors in the running!\” — something that probably wouldn\’t instill much hope of something of a lot of artistic merit; just something that a studio wants people to be excited about simply based on name recognition. Two very different situations. In either case, the original is still just as much in existence.

You people can\’t be serious. Suspiria was a piece of shit. I can\’t believe someone used the poor Italian dubbing as a positive.

I\’ll sign a \”fuck gordon green\’s hollywood films, bring back his George Washington sensibilities\” petition.

Seriously, a Suspiria remake? Jesus.

I agree, Suspiria was perfect . Leave it alone.

A Suspiria remake almost certainly can\’t work. The original had:
a) career highlight soundtrack by a genius prog band
b) a visionary, bonkers director at the height of his powers
c) some of the last ever three strip technicolor processing
d) the weird, unintentionally apt and surreal effects of Italian pop cinema dubbing.
It was the product of a very specific time, milieu, and a uniquely unhinged cinematic brain. Hard to see a contemporary remake working.
