I never understand when anyone(s) want to re-make a successful film, whether as a film or mini-series. Polanski's original film was as brilliant a work as any that has come along in the history of film. Some praise the Paris relocation, but part of the sinister appeal of the original Ira Levin book, as well of the original Polanski film, was the commonplace, ordinary, unexpected origins of the story's evil. Why relocate the setting to Paris? Perhaps Saldana and her relatives who were involved in producing this travesty just wanted a paid, working vacation under the guise of relocating this masterpiece of darkness in the City of Light.
