really?  i hate remakes, but Natalie Portman doesn't sound that bad. I'll definitely check it out if it gets made.  I heard that they were going to make an Anime version a few years ago, but I'm not sure what ever happened with that.


If you like Suspiria, they finished the 3rd film in the series last year.  Its called "Mother of Tears", and it stars his daughter Asia.  I don't think its been released yet in the states, but you can probably find a torrent of it online somewhere.

david gordon green is directing it. This is his first horror film. In the past he's done more minimialistic Terrance Malick sort-of stuff. More recently, he directed Pineapple Express. so yeah, the juxtaposition of his directing style with the subject of matter of Suspiria should be interesting.

Mother of Tears came out in my town back in April. I didn't see it, but everyone that did didn't speak too fondly about it.
