Martin Scorsese did it with J. Lee Thompson’s 1962 Cape Fear in 1992. Jonathan Demme had a revisionist take on John Frankenheimer’s 1962 political-thriller classic The Manchurian Candidate, casting Denzel Washington in the Frank Sinatra role of Ben Marco in 2004. Gus Van Sant remade Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 Psycho shot-for-shot in 1998 with Vince Vaughn, Anne Heche, Julianne Moore and Viggo Mortensen.
Remaking Dario Argento’s 1977 giallo Suspiria has been a passion of Oscar-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino since he was a teenager, and in 2007 he went after the rights when Miramax decided against a re-do.
When Gaudagnino sat down with Argento to get advice on a recreating Suspiria, the horror director gave his full blessing: “I have no advice, do your movie’ he told me,” says the Call Me By Your Name director.
