It looks like this trend is talking hold in the UK.
Tom Hardy replaces Michael Fassbender in what is being called a remake of
Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy. Should it be called a remake or a new movie adaptation based on the novel by
John le Carré, I think the second is more appropriate -- remake would be proper if the original source material is a movie, series, etc.
Hardy is not playing Smiley; that role is for Gary Oldman. I recently obtained a copy of the BBC series with
Sir Alec Guinness. Who wants to have a viewing marathon?
I can't imagine the movie having much of an audience in the UK -- at least not among the youth. But is the trend of doing "remakes" becoming stronger in the UK?
