I personally hope it happens.




For me this makes absolutely zero sense unless Carpenter is really hard up for money.

Why bother remaking something that is already perfect?

Apart from the title and the opening music, it has absolutely nothing to do with the original movie/series nor with the books they were based on. Don't bother with it.


yup,

watched the first episode and never looked back.

I really wanted this new series to be true to the original but I could tell simply from watching the trailer that it would not be worth my time.

I think, Das Boot is one of these movies which can`t be topped.

Agreed. Much of that has to do with the cast. The chemistry those actors had between themselves is the kind of thing that is extremely difficult to replicate.
