Warner Bros remaking "The Island of Dr Moreau"
Seventeen years is a long time in Hollywood, and with the Marlon Brando / Val Kilmer version of The Island Of Dr Moreau now just a distant and surreal memory, Warner Bros. have decided to once again dust off the HG Wells classic.
Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company is behind the "contemporary re-imagining". Quote:
And of course, there's the chaotic 1996 farrago, with an elephantine Brando and an out-of-control Kilmer, originally directed by Richard Stanley (Hardware, Dust Devil) until he was replaced by John Frankenheimer during filming, only to return to the set disguised as one of the creatures. The new version is being set up as a science-fiction adaptation with "a topical ecological message". Hemlock Grove writers Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy have been tasked with the screenplay. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Islan...ros-39313.html

"Island Of Lost Souls" is such a classic, the Burt Lancaster film is watchable, although I haven't seen it in years (maybe it's not as good as I remember) and the less said the better about the Brando film.
If treated properly, another remake could be interesting. Lets hope they don't foul it up |
