Thoughts on the remake of All Quiet on the Western Front.

As you may or may not have heard, it has been announced that there will be a remake of All Quiet on the Western Front coming out in a few years. I found this out last night, and I thought the idea was utterly ridiculous. I think re-making such an iconic film would be a waste, as I sincerely doubt it will live up to the 1930's film, based on the novel by Erich Remarque. Perhaps I am just biased.

Daniel Radcliffe is playing Paul. Yes, Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe. In my mind, the only person who can truly play Paul well is the exceptionally handsome Lew Ayres. He was believable and passionate, whereas I'm not sure Daniel Radcliffe will be. Sorry mate.
