But this version is very lush and beautiful to look at, and the cast is one to absolutely die for.<br /><br />You might also be surprised at just how good Cate Blanchett is in the Lilith role. It's beautifully cast top to bottom, and while the original is as good a noir as you'll find, there are no gaps in this cast.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-91256067279456300432022-02-08T21:53:26.610-06:002022-02-08T21:53:26.610-06:00I'll be watching this but I'm extremely le...I'll be watching this but I'm extremely leery about it since I have a hard time imagining, even with the quality of the cast, anyone topping the performances in the original particularly Helen Walker's ice cold Lilith. <br /><br />All that extra footage also seems a waste. The first was spare, giving just enough info on each character so you knew who they were at the point in the time. It didn't feel necessary to know how they became that way. <br /><br />I can tell from the preview it has a great look and that will be interesting but then the original had a great noirish feeling as well.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-82486936866790494282022-02-08T11:21:23.240-06:002022-02-08T11:21:23.240-06:00I'll be very interested to hear what you have ...I'll be very interested to hear what you have to say about it.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-80961634710137995752022-02-08T11:21:05.562-06:002022-02-08T11:21:05.562-06:00I have them just about equal.
