Dear David Gordon Green...
...why remaking a perfect film? I'm sure a creative guy like you has a lot of ideas floating around in his head, why not creating something new and original rather than copying. Suspiria is an unique experience that is virtually impossible to recreate, it is a film of it's time and it's director Dario Argento.
Remember Psycho and Gus Van Sant? He didn't listen to all the advise and warnings given to him to NOT remake Hitchcock, look what happened to Psycho, a major bomb! Argento is, much like Hitchcock, unique in his style and also impossible to remake. Why not take the budget you got approved and create something new and exiting with some actual chances of being a success rather than betting on a horse, that is already limping before it even gets to the race? Let's be honest a Suspiria remake has to fail, this is not 1977 anymore and you are certainly not Dario Argento. Who do you want to please? Today's horror audience made of adolescent boys that never appreciate the classic appeal of this unique film? Did you ever read the comments made on the original by today's audience? What you are planning on doing so? Spicing it up with some modern twists and turns and cast the latest teen heartthrobs to appear in tight ballet outfits? Let's face it, like the Psycho remake this one is bound to fail miserably. You have nowhere to go, music, lighting, colors and great art direction....it all has been done before. Story? What story? Suspiria lives by it's atmosphere alone....and that can't be recreated. Maybe you should listen to the people out there and especially to Dario Argento himself who is not the biggest fan of it either. Take the money and make a good film based on your own ideas!
