This news gives me a bit more hope that this is thorroughly rewritten by De Palma. I've mentioned earlier I didn't care much for the original.
Tha fact that De Palma felt Donaggio was a fitting composer for this project might be an indication that his version will be more in the vain of his thrillers. Hopefully De Palma has changed the things that weren't working in the original: The ludicrous "twist " of the plot which was plain unbelieveable by any stretch of the imagination. he lengths the girl went to in orfder to make herself appear guilty in the original clearly would have landed here noewhere else than in jail for life, case closed faster than you can say the word "appeal".
Obviously that might be asking a lot for De Palma to change that underlying premise, but at least I hope De Palma is able to make it more believable.
The other problem with Crime of Passion was the flatness and procedural nature of it all, which I certainly hope De Palma will be able to inject with a lot more kinetics and cinematic set pieces.
The casting of two young actresses in the leads I think might be an indication of this, as De Palma is hopefully intending on making more out of the mostly hinted at erotic tention of the original.
I thought The Black Dahlia was flat. Hopefully this won't be.
Cheers,
Christian

This is good. Very good. A long overdue reunion. And just look at that 'stache and those shades. Looks like he's ready to get sticky.
Just watched Crime d'amour and the strength of its structure seems, to me, to be the 'we don't know why she's doing what she's doing-- we must keep paying attention' nature of the way information is doled out. Witholding a larger context generates some good suspense or, at least, interest. The other thing that jumped out to me was that, assuming BDP still has some hot blood pumping through his veins, this should be the rare instance of the American remake being sexier than the French original. We shall see.

Name: "K"Speaking of reunions, now I haven't seen the original film but if 'Passion' calls for an older male character, I'd love to see John Lithgow and Brian De Palma work together again.
