Strangers on a Train


I saw it for the first time a couple weeks back and absolutely loved it. The story was great and kept me on edge the entire time. I remember hearing a while back that Fincher was considering doing a remake of it with Ben Affleck starring. Any truth to that?

Project has cooled off. Considerably. Don't expect it anytime soon. Or, maybe, ever.

Damn. Strangers on a Train is one of my alltime favorite movies and I love Fincher so I was getting really excited.

I haven't seen Strangers on a Train yet, would you recommend it?

reply

Easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Great suspense and very well directed. Definitely check it out.

reply

Thank God. We don't need David Fincher, the Hitchcock Imitator in Chief, to ruin a classic by aping Hitch's style, like he always does.

The property is in-development. Gillian Flynn and Ben Affleck are writing. Fincher is attached to direct.

I haven't seen the original, but I have no doubt in my mind that Fincher would be able to introduce a fresh and exciting take on a familiar story - just look at the work he did on Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Believe what you want.

It's not happening.
