Miscarriage.

There are thousands of excellent screenplays that will never be made. As I recently wrote I have eleven of them. So why do these producers insist on remaking movies that were brilliant the first time? Rosemary's Baby is the latest great film to have a second-best remake. I am sure Zoe Saldana, whom I have no knowledge of, is probably a good actress. But Mia Farrow was the ideal Rosemary, John Cassavetes was brilliant as her husband, and nobody, but nobody, could surpass Ruth Gordon. Roman Polanski's film was perfect in every detail. It was tight, it was scary, it was beautifully art directed and it is a motion picture classic. Now Agnieszka Holland (director of the beyond boring Europa, Europa)  has fantasies that she will surpass the original with her four-hour version, and she won't. What she will do is leave us with a popular rip-off (this time taking place in Paris) which will always be played instead of the original masterpiece.
