WTF? They were not "lovers". They had a mutual weekend fling where both sides at the beginning knew where they stood. The Michael Douglas character did not hide his marital status. The screenwriters broke the plot of the movie by hammering the square peg "#MeToo" into the round hole.
They do this all the time. The Wokeratti have NO ORIGINAL IDEAS. Not one. All they do is take good older stories and try to spin them according to their twisted Woke religion.
Audiences duly ignore them.
You would think some adult would eventually get put in charge at some of these film companies who would tell them “No. I am NOT going to waste money on this crap that nobody will watch.” It hasn’t happened yet though. So Disney and other studios continue to lose pile after pile of cash churning out this crap nobody wants to watch.
at least its still a man/woman story not 2 queers named Alex and Dan.
aannd they’d better leave the golden retriever alone.
Producers must sit around a big desk in Hollywood saying: “Okay, what can we ruin next and lose millions doing it?”
I also remember it was reported that in the theaters, the men were yelling "Get the b**ch!" during the scene where Bunny Boiler gets killed.
“This remake will be ignored, Dan.”
PLAY MISTY FOR ME.
As much as I loathe Hollywood as an ‘industry’ and as much as I was scared silly by this movie, if you’ve been paying attention, there’s really been ‘nothing new under the sun’ since Shakespeare.
And even ‘The Bard’ stole ideas from other writers before him!
Another oldie but goodie murder mystery was Harrison Ford in ‘Presumed Innocent.’
But, the book was MUCH better. (Author, Scott Turow)
I hope they make it gay. I hope the finished product is gayer than Pete Buttigieg and Volodymyr Zelenskyy slap-fighting on top of a pallet of $3 bills.
I hope that eventually it will make it to a streaming service and be tagged with “LGBT”, and the tears of outrage will flow like they did when Netflix released the Dahmer show a couple of months back.
By all means, make it gay.
