Another remake has been announced, and this time there might not be a lot of complaints. Indecent Proposal, which was a box office hit but received Razzie Awards for Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay and Worst Supporting Actor for 1993, as well as four other dishonorable nominations, will be resurrected for potentially a better version of the romantic drama via Paramount Players. The original, put out by Paramount proper, was based on a novel by Jack Engelhard, but it changed a lot of the premise, particularly regarding details about the main characters. This take, like the 25-year-old version, will be scripted by a woman, namely Erin Cressida Wilson. Whether it will be a more faithful adaptation is unknown. Here's...

Whilst some classic movies being remade is of no surprise, there is, every now and again, one that will take you by surprise. The latest to be added to the remake trend is Indecent Proposal from Paramount Players.
To give the remake that modern-day edge, The Girl on the Train scribe Erin Cressida Wilson has been set to re-write the original script. As it’s very early days of development, no other information is available at this time.

Director Steven Spielberg has leaped to the defense of his latest movie Munich, after fundamentalist Jews attacked the Oscar-nominated film for allowing the Palestinian side of the story to be portrayed. Munich, which is up for five Academy Awards next month, tells the based-on-fact story of the murder of 11 Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympics and the retribution by Israel's secret service Mossad. Jewish Spielberg insists the film is an unbiased portrayal of the horrific events and hopes the movie will act as a "prayer for peace" in the troubled Middle Eastern region. He says, "The Jewish community, have grown very angry at me for allowing the Palestinians simply to have dialogue and for allowing (screenwriter and frequent critic of Israeli policies) Tony Kushner to be the author of that dialogue. Munich never once attacks Israel, and barely criticizes Israel's policy of counter-violence against violence. It simply asks a plethora of questions. It's the most questioning story I've ever had the honor to tell. For that, we were accused of the sin of moral equivocation. Which, of course, we didn't intend - and we're not guilty of." In December, Jewish author Jack Engelhard attacked the film, saying, "Spielberg is no friend of Israel. Spielberg is no friend of truth."...

Steven Spielberg's movie about the 1972 Munich Olympic Games has been slammed as "superficial" and "pretentious" by Israel's consul-general in Los Angeles. Munich follows an Israeli hit squad's hunt for Palestinian terrorists holding Jewish athletes hostage. Eleven of the athletes were killed when a German rescue attempt went wrong. But Ehud Danoch fears the film delivers an incorrect moral message, by comparing the Mossad secret service agents with the terrorists. He says, "As a Hollywood movie, I assume that it will be defined as a well-made film, but from the standpoint of the messages it sends, the messages are problematic. This is an incorrect moral equation. We in Israel know this. There is also a certain pretentiousness in attempting to treat a painful decades-long conflict by means of quite superficial statements in a movie." Spielberg has also been attacked by Jewish author Jack Engelhard - who accuses him of being "no friend of Israel." The Indecent Proposal writer says, "Jews pioneered Hollywood. If, as our enemies say, we own Hollywood, well, here's the plot twist - we have lost Hollywood, and we have lost Spielberg. Spielberg is no friend of Israel. Spielberg is no friend of truth."...
