Sleuth

Mrs NotaSheep and I were just watching the Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine film Sleuth on ITV 3, one of my favourite ever films. I went on-line to check who was in the play when we saw it a few years back and then I noticed that a remake/reinvention of the film is out soon, starring Michael Caine playing the Laurence Olivier part and Jude Law playing the Michael Caine role (just as he did in Alfie). Now I generally hate remakes: The Italian Job was vile, Planet of the Apes was risible, The Jackal/Day of the Jackal remake was not a patch on the original; but I might just go and see this one.
