I am game for a reboot. I was thrilled when I saw the previews for the original movie. I had never read the graphic novel, but I had read all the source material of each character (yes, back in the old days, we actually read books with words only).
The LOXG was great until they assembled the team and then it went downhill. The remake needs to TRY to stick to some sense of realism. I know its a fantasy, but the lack of logic and basic understanding of the laws of gravity/physics and a complete disregard for the origins of the literary characters doomed that movie. The new one needs to be a bit like the Avengers, but with an old world feel to it. There are so many literary characters that franchise potential is unlimited. But, gee jumpin' jeehozaphat, stick to some semblance of reality. A car chase in Venice? A submarine navigating the canals? A car that turns its first time driver into a NASCAR veteran? No one in the production committee meetings thought these were bad ideas? NO ONE affiliated with the previous version needs to be allowed in the same state as the making of the reboot.
Sadly, the perfect actress to play Mina Harker in a remake is Eva Green, but she's kind of already doing something similar on Penny Dreadful.
My memory foam pillow says it can't remember my face. I can tell its lying.
