ROTTEN TOMATOES: Two New "Strangers" to Meet On DreamWorks' "Train"

Two New "Strangers" to Meet On DreamWorks' "Train"

by Scott Weinberg | April 12, 2005

Variety lets us know that DreamWorks is currently mounting a new interpretation of Patricia Highsmith's novel "Strangers on a Train." Originally turned into a classic 1951 thriller by Alfred Hitchcock, the new "Strangers" is about "a psychiatrist who murders an exec's clingy mistress and wants him to return the favor by killing the shrink's sister." First-time (yet award-winning) director Noam Murro has been hired to direct the adaptation, and he'll be working on the screenplay by David Seltzer ("The Omen") and Rand Ravich ("The Astronaut's Wife").Murro was recently the recipient of a DGA award for his work on TV commercials.

I thought only Hitchcock could do justice to a Patricia Highsmith novel. The new version of "The talented Mr Ripley" starring Matt Damon was a bit dull to my taste. Let's hope this guy pulls the best out of this movie. If not, it'll be yet another example of remaking for the sake of remaking in Hollywood.

No one Hollywood�s director will make a better movie than Hitchcok�s. Never.

If they get a better lead actor than Granger this movie could be better, but then again who can outdo Robert Walker?
