I just saw the trailer for No Reservations (2007), the one with Catherine Zeta-Jones as an anal retentive chef who suddenly comes into the custody of her niece, Abigail Breslin aka the Oscar-nominated precocious Olive of Little Miss Sunshine (2006). At the same time, the chef must deal with the sous-chef (a very SIZZLING Aaron Eckhart) who's got different methods in the kitchen. And on top of this, she's gotta resist his sexiness. Poor girl.
Sound familiar? It is. It's a remake of a cute little German film, Bella Martha (2001). See the trailer so you can see how it is the same, scene for scene. How could Scott Hicks, who gave us Shine (1996), remake something that won't match the original (let alone remake anything at all)?
On a similar note, I've heard that the Best Picture of 2006, according to the Academy anyway, is almost scene for scene the same as its original source material, Infernal Affairs (2002). For. Shame.
