Saw the ‘56 version over the weekend (love Edmond O’Brien) and was wondering if they were going to remake it anytime soon. “Spiritual sister” is usually newspeak for “feminized” so I expect Winston Smith to be Winifred Smith and, quite possibly, trans and O’Brien will be a white, Christian conservative who hates women.

Thinking I’ll be passing on this one already. Sigh.

Ee-yup! The “reimagined” updates of classic stink on ice almost across the board. The 84 version with Richard Burton was okay.
