spielberg loves movies that he doesn’t have to actually make. he hasn’t done anything that stands out since saving private ryan.

The original is and always will be a classic.

I can see why he’s remaking it, it’s very relevant to todays America of recession and decimation of union powers.

The casting of Tom Joad and Jim Casy will obviously be key.

I would rather Hollywood adapt contemporary novels rather than period ones. I cannot think of too many recent stabs at older novels that do not feel like modern actors playing dress-up. They will not capture the authentic period feel of Ford’s original because that film was only ten years removed from the Depression and everyone involved lived through it and understood it. I applaud the attempt to make something now that isn’t a sequel, reboot, superhero/comic book but they are barking up the wrong tree.

I guess turning set texts into films (War Horse seems to be a Eng Lit favourite in the UK at the moment) is a way to make easy money… And there was he proclaiming the death of cinema the other day, now driving the nails in

Why not a new Cannery Row (novel) movie, the first one was not as good as possible. And it would be a little brighter then the very somber Grapes of Wrath. it is time that the americans discover one ot their great writer, esp. for the movies.
