I'm not saying he needs to be killed, not that at all, but whatever power Gus Van Sant has in Hollywood needs to be revoked. Now.
While talking to Moviehole about his latest movie 'Gerry' recently, Van Sant said one of the stupidest things I think I've ever read, in regards to the classic movie 'Psycho', and his feelings on how his remake of it went...
"'Psycho' was great, a huge kind of grand experiment project. Very trial by fire. It met with a lot of criticism – but we managed to keep afloat, I think we broke even. But no, I wouldn’t remake another movie again, however, I’m thinking of remaking “Psycho” again. Doing a third remake. The idea this time is to really change it – we’re talking about doing a Punk rocker setting. Viggo Mortensen suggested it. He was married to Exene Cervenka and knows all the right people to get involved – all the right punk rocker etc – so he would definitely be involved if we go ahead."
Wouldn't that technically be a second remake, since there's only been one? Whatever, it's still the most idiotic thing he could possibly have said. Everyone that I know shudders with disgust when Gus's original remake is mentioned, how violently pissed off are fans going to be if he tries another one?
Let's just hope he does a search for his name online and comes up with hundreds of articles just like this one and realizes "Wait, that's a really bad idea!".
