So there's going to be a remake of the classic horror film Suspiria 1977.



Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uGIEY7tdg8

Trailer 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY6QKRl56Ok

The film is directed by Luca Guadagnino(Call Me by Your Name) and written by David Kajganich.

It stars Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth

Music is by : Thom Yorke

Release Date : November 2 , 2018


If you don't know it's a remake of the original 1977 film by Dario Argento , being the first part of The Mothers Trilogy a loosely connected trilogy of films about evil witches. It takes place at a school for ballet. It has neon lighting and a killer soundtrack.



Original Trailer

Soundtrack by GOBLIN

Starring: Really no one you'd recognize really unless your really into Italian film.

Suspiria is really considered by many to be Dario Argento's masterpiece of cinema. Considered by many to be one of the greatest horror movies ever made. A lot of this is because many people see it as a evolution or modern version of the gothic horror genre pushing it into modern times with neon lighting to match.

In recent news for this film though is there is a new 4k restoration of it that has been going on tour recently in theaters around the country.


Here's the restored trailer for the 4k film :

So this is the thread to talk about Suspiria the 4k restoration and the upcoming remake of the film.

The non restored version of Suspiria can I believe still be found on Amazon Prime and for free on Tubi Tv if you have not seen it.

I was skeptical about the whole idea of this. But this looks... lovely.

It's still going to bother me that the original musical theme is missing, such a central element of the original.

I'm loving the casting of Tilda Swinton though. That's going to make this picture.

Ahem, I think Jessica Harper and Udo Kier are both known enough outside Italian Cinema :colbert:

I think we should call the Avengers.

Joan Bennett and Alida Valli too. Suspiria has a surprisingly stacked cast for a low-budget Italian production.

Fun fact: Alida Valli's real name is Baroness Alida Maria Laura Altenburger von Marckenstein-Frauenberg.

I'm seeing the poo poo out of this on opening day - Suspiria is one of my favourite movies, Tilda Swinton is my favourite actor, and Luca Guadignoingongoingognoingginino made my favourite movie last year.

Is the poster in the OP official? "Based on the Dario Argento's cult classic" is pretty awkward.

I'm seeing the 4K restoration of Suspiria in the theater on September 23rd. Hyped as hell.

As for the remake I thing it looks great, and from what I've read it's going to totally be my thing. I love how the director didn't attempt to replicate Argento's style but instead gave it his own. I think the film world is big enough for two version of Suspiria to exist, especially when they each take such different approaches.

I'm anticipating liking the remake more than the original. Now they just need to remake Inferno & Phenomena as coherent films.

Phenomena is perfectly coherent. It's just trying to be like, three films within a single running time.

Suspiria isn't incoherent either. If you accept the basic premise of witches being real, it's a very straightforward horror story.

Even moreso in the original Italian as I discovered when I saw the remaster in theaters. The English dub isn't bad per se, but it does muddle some bits that end up causing confusion.

Also lol that there are some people who can't accept a fantastic premise in a horror film and then spend far too much effort drawing all sorts of weird conclusions in their reading because of it.

Neither is Inferno. A woman who lives in an apartment building discovers that it's home to one of the Three Mothers, she finds out a bit too much and is killed for it, and her brother travels there to find her because she'd sent him a letter right before her disappearance. That's about it?

True. I'll be honest, it took me like 5 viewings to make sense of Inferno, but apparently that's just me.

e: Inferno was my favorite Argento film even before I could fully wrap my brain around it, so coherence isn't a full-throated criticism here.

The original is fantastic, the soundtrack is imo the best feature of the film. If there is anything this new one has to live up to beyond anything else its the score and music they'll use.

I'm excited for this new one, it looks like they've gotten the vibe of the original captured well.

I mean in a visual medium, homage requires similarities not carbon copies - those look lofted wholesale. It's not reminiscent of the work, it copies it, which fits plagiarism more than homage and especially in a legal definition.

From what I can see in the article it seems they're not suing for plagiarism, but for reproducing the artist's work commercially, though.

Apparently the estate explicitly has in their copyright or whatever that the work can be reproduced for scholarly purposes as an umbrella permission? (ie classrooms, museums, etc)

Nah, copyrighted work applies copyright indiscriminately unless they apply exceptions - screening a film is still technically a breach unless there's a specific license, such as education copies etc. Fair use to my knowledge concerns some degree of transformative use, such as critique via narration (video essays, let's plays and the like).

What's been done here is more akin to finding a really good sentence in a book and using it without quotes while saying "hey this is a great source!" - with the double whammy of being used in a commercial product.

Granted, usually it's homage to art that's long out of copyright.
