I love the Hitchcock version but this looks ok.

i always have doubts when you mess with a classic.

Yeah, if I'd never seen the orginal I'm sure I'd enjoy it more, gonna watch it though.

Imo a new adaptation of a literary work isn’t messing with a classic. By that standard, no one should ever stage a play revival.

Fair point. But most people (myself included) only know the story from the original film. Guess I should add it to my list of books to read.

reply

Yeah, same. I like Lily James but I doubt I'll go to see this film.

Interesting.

First I'm hearing about this. Seriously, does Netflix not advertise at all?
