Dario Argento Recently there has been a big trend of movies being adapted for an international TV series. ‘Suspiria’ has now joined that list. ‘Suspiria’, a 1977 movie by Dario Argento, was based on the 1845 book titled “Suspiria De Profundis’ by Thomas De Quincey . A few years ago the film was in line to be remade, but legal issues stood in the way. ‘Suspiria’ was the first of Argento’s films (in a trilogy) that refers to “The Three Mothers”, a coven of witches. The other titles in the trilogy include ‘Inferno’ and ‘Mother of Tears’. ‘Suspiria’ tells the story of Suzy, an American ballet student, played by Jessica Harper, who joins a ballet academy in Germany. After a series of murders Suzy realizes that the academy is a front for something more, something sinister and supernatural. The new series is titled ‘Suspiria De Profundis’. Aregento will be acting as an “artistic supervisor” for the series. The series will

There are few movies in this world that I love more than the 1975 cult classic ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’. Few movies have such a large cult following as ‘Rocky Horror’. So many will understand why I was absolutely furious when it came to my attention that FOX is remaking ‘Rocky Horror’ for TV. My first thought, how dare they? The rash of recent reboots is off the charts and in my opinion, they have just crossed the line. No one, and I mean no one can properly play Brad and Janet, Riff Raff, Magentam or Columbia other than the original cast and as far as I am concerned Tim Curry IS Dr. Frank-N-Furter. The ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ is approaching it’s 40th anniversary, and how do they celebrate the milestone? By butchering it. What on God’s green earth could make FOX think this was ok? Are you wondering who is behind this nonsense ? Gail Berman of The Jackal
