vanishingSpoorloos (The Vanishing), 1988 Dutch film, director George Sluizer

The Vanishing, 1993 American film, director George Sluizer

According to IMDB: “With a budget set at $20 million, this US remake cost over 10 times what George Sluizer’s original Dutch version had in 1988.”

questions:

  • why remake a film that was good the first time?
  • why change the ending?
  • why remake your own film?
