Didn't "Alexander" suck? Of course, the director and writer matter more. I have
no clue what tack they'll take for this one. Part of feels this is about as
iffy as someone trying to remake "Citizen Kane".

Producer Thomas Schuehly ("Alexander") has acquired the remake rights
to Fritz Lang's 1927 silent sci-fi classic "Metropolis" reports
Variety.
Considered one of the most expensive films of its time, the movie is
set in 2026 in a massive city-state characterized by its monumental
skyscrapers and art-deco architecture.
The film depicts the class struggle between the wealthy society of
planners and thinkers, who live in luxury high above the Earth, and
the workers, who live underground, toiling to sustain the lives of the
privileged.
Schuehly and Mario Kassar are currently in negotiations with a number
of top directors to helm the pic, with a final decision expected in
the next few months.
