Donald Sutherland says ‘shameful’ Don’t Look Now remake is ‘bulls**t’
Donald Sutherland has hit out at filmmakers looking to remake his iconic 1973 film Don’t Look Now.
The Hunger Games star has branded the reboot ‘bullsh**t’ and thinks that anyone involved should be ‘ashamed of themsleves’.
He told Metro: “Don't embarrass yourselves by participating in it. It's bulls**t. It was a piece of work indelibly written by Nicolas Roeg.
“Why would they do it? It's just people trying to profit off the back of something that's very beautiful.

“It's shameful. They should be ashamed of themselves,” he added.
Back in April, StudioCanal announced that it was working on an updated version of the award-winning film, which was adapted from a short story by Daphne du Maurier.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Picture Company's Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman are on board to produce the film.
Sutherland starred opposite Julie Christie in the original, about a grieving couple who meet a clairvoyant claiming to be in contact with their dead daughter.
Other remakes of classic films currently in the pipeline include Christopher Nolan’s Memento, The Craft and The Exorcist.
