Jonathan Demme Quote
-
I don`t think it`s sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie. I think what`s sacrilegious is to make a bad movie, whether it`s a remake or an original. It`s what I always tell my actor friends, anybody who`s in this, this [business], you`ve gotta try to hold out and only do the scripts, do the material that offers you the opportunity to do your best work. Because if you do stuff that doesn`t give you that opportunity? Your work`s not gonna be good. And you`re gonna suffer in the long run from that. So I don`t care if it`s a remake if it`s a great script with parts in it that can attract fantastic actors, God, you know, to make the movie.
