hmmmm.... i hafta agree i'm not super-thrilled about a remake of this movie, mainly various elements (color, scenery, story, acting, intensity, score) were utilized that made up such a great work of art in horror cinema. i don't believe such attention to detail will be paid to this remake (if anything, hopefully they'll keep the soundtrack the way it is--no over-the-top choirs "aahhhhhhh-ing").
in regards to natalie portman for the role, i could easily see her playing the role of "Olga" easily, but not suzy. natalie has, by no means, a sophisticated style nor behavior for such a role. hmmm... if they DID use paris hilton (LOL) i would hope she would play "Pat" (if you've seen the original, you'll know why). but for the role of "Suzy Bannion," i think the actress would have to be someone who could pass as a sophisticate (remember this is a school of ballet-at least i hope it stays ballet). i would think Scarlett Johansson or Liv Tyler. i think they would work well with hair-dyed in an overcast atmosphere like that.
i still kinda wish, since they are remaking it, they would go with dario's original idea: instead of using teenagers, use children as it was originally intended. i think that would be way better, but that's just my opinion and my two cents on the matter.
