Robert Downey Jr. celebrated his emblem role decades later, thinking about getting an ambitious new challenge with Stephen Knight, the creator of the peak blind. Together, they are going to review the masterpiece of the cinema: the legendary film of Alfred Hitchcock, the cold sweat (1958).
The actress, who returned a wonderful screen in 2023, thanks to Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer – the role that won the Oscar for Best Auxiliary role – it seems to be ready to study the still -published land. Beyond the return of Marvel world to the doctor’s doom, this remake project is particularly focused on its courage and potentially innovative approach.
In an interview with the New York Times in 2023, Jr. Robert Down. He was convinced of the desire to re -interpret this classic. He does not seriously think that we are invited to watch this approach as a bold, almost playful bet.
“” “It’s not even risky. It is advisable to consider it ridiculous. Wonderful, look! First, who would our partners be? Love them, respect them. Second, let me read the original synopsis. I think we can do better. .»
He argued that the essence of this remake would be to restore an unprecedented dimension for this film, not just to copy it.
The origin of the remake of this idea
What is particularly motivated by the actor is a very striking personal experience associated with fear and insecurity. On a passionate ladder, Jr. Robert Down. She tells her that she is blocked, on the edge of a panic, unable to move or respond.
“” “You know why I wanted to make this movie? I climbed and found myself in a panic one day. If I was not ashamed, I would ask to climb this rock. I lost confidence in my position, falling was very important, and my body was responding. It was not a fight or fly, it was a block. It is gone.»
This experience has forced him to think about how the movie theater can better study and transmit this psychological fear, often inexperienced: “I will never forget this, and it made me think that there are film devices that are not yet used and that, in my opinion, will allow us to emphasize: “What is psychologically frightened by what should be managed?” It can be entertaining.»
This project, if it is born, so it does not promise a simple classic remake, but rather a new interpretation that will try to sink deeper into human emotions. Unlike Gus Van Santi’s version of psychosis, which was very close to the original, this remake could bring welcome novelty to other Hitchcock work.
