SUSPIRIA Remake Screenwriter Doesn’t Like Argento’s Original Film
David Kajganich
Director Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento’s classic Suspiria is going to have a tough road ahead of it. Maybe not. But like most remakes, the film’s destiny could simply be “not as good as the original.” No matter how good it ends up.
As many legions of fans Argento’s original film has, it looks like there is at least one guy out there that doesn’t care for certain aspects of the technicolored nightmare on celluloid. And that man is the upcoming remake’s screenwriter, David Kajganich.
“I’m not a fan of the original Suspiria, to be honest,” Kajganich told the L.A. Times. “I’m a fan of it as an art piece, but as a narrative, it makes almost no sense.”
“I’m not a fan of the original Suspiria”? Ouch. Seems like the perfect choice to rewrite it, huh? What’d you think? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!
Directed by Luca Guadagnino Suspiria stars Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson, Mia Goth, Chloë Grace Moretz, Lutz Ebersdorf, and Jessica Harper, star of the original. The remake is completing post at the moment ahead of its debut at the Venice Film Festival in September. It hits theaters November 2nd.
