That’s such an awesome movie. I wouldn’t mind seeing it remade, preferably directed by Peter Weir.
I may go with “if we get this done quick enough, we might have time to stop for churros.” Or “you shoot me in a dream you better wake up and apologize.”
I think that it would be hard to improve on the original. I think that the temptation would be to trick it up with new technology which would just get in the way of the story. Best performance of Peck’s career. Also best performance of Basehart’s career but he wasn’t much of an actor. And one hell of a cameo by Orson Welles. Great supporting cast and direction from John Huston and screenplay by Ray Bradbury.
They’ve had a few made for television attempts. The one with Ethan Hawke and
William Hurt wasn’t bad for a low budget effort.

Thomas Craven : Yeah, got nobody left to bury you.

Well, kid, there’s more things in this life than you can possibly imagine. I knew a whore once in Wilmington. She had a glass eye… used to take it out and wink people off for a dollar.
