Thumbs down Re: Madonna wants to remake Casablanca
I have several issues with this; Madonna

Is in no way, shape, age or form remotely close to Ingrid Bergman.


Im sorry, Maybe 20 years ago she could have pulled it off and gotten one or two positive reviews, but not now, not today. I mean honestly, can anyone truthfully say she even compares to the grace and beauty of Ingrid Bergman?

#2, "Casablanca" is a classic, and along side movies like "Citizen Kane" and "gone with the wind", they are timeless. none of them ever need to be remade, they're pertfect in their original form.

#3 How on earth, are they going to find someone to cast in Bogey's role? Come on!! His name is synonymous with this movie!! It just cant be done!


#4 Otto is right, it sounds like a political vehicle pure and simple. I personally dont see anything good coming out of this.If they even seriously consider this, they might as well go ahead and cast Michael Jackson for the part of Rick, because its just going to end up as a really bad idea anyway..
