Hey. Quint here again... I heard from natalieportman.com's lead guy who says that her reps deny the Bloody-Disgusting report "100%," but Miska's standing by his sources. So, we'll see. Here's the original report:

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I think Jessica Harper was a hottie-potatie and I also happen to think that Natalie Portman falls into the same hottie-potatie category.

In the age of remakes it takes something very special to actually get me excited to see a classic redone. When they first started talking about remaking SUSPIRIA, I thought "Oh, great. That's what we need, a crappy studio remake of Dario Argento's amazingly atmospheric classic." But then they hired a fascinating director in David Gordon Green and now, according to Bloody-Disgusting, they've cast Natalie Portman in the lead.

How about that? See what casting and an interesting director can do to change you perception of a remake? I'm not even the world's biggest fan of SUSPIRIA... don't get me wrong, I love how it looks and sounds (the Goblin score is one of the great horror soundtracks of all time), but it was never my favorite Argento flick. And even I'm starting to get buzzed about this one. What about you?
