Spielberg takes most unnecessary remake since A GUY NAMED JOE. This time it is HARVEY!

Hey folks, Harry here - and frankly I'm a little depressed by the latest news from Mike Fleming over at Variety. It seems that Steven Spielberg is next going to remake HARVEY, when he's finished with TINTIN. Thus far in Spielberg's career he's had two rather severe career missteps. The first was when he went to remake the beloved Spencer Tracy film, A GUY NAMED JOE with his film ALWAYS. The movie just didn't live up to the original. Then he wanted to recapture PETER PAN with HOOK - and again it did not wind up pretty. With HARVEY, he has an absolutely perfect original film starring Jimmy Stewart and his invisible rabbit, Harvey. It is easily one of the most beloved films in the history of cinema starring pretty much the most beloved actor in cinema history. Well, Steven is going to remake it. God help us if he decides to show us the Rabbit, which we most certainly do not need to see. I don't know about you, but this may actually take the record as the single most unnecessary remake in the history of remakes. Harry
