I'll wager genuine motion


WW2 Battlefield Documentary I'll wager genuine motion picture buffs are shivering all over the place.

The talk factory is humming that a redo of the remarkable 1950 thriller The Third Man may be underway. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire may assume control over the parts initially played by the considerable Orson Welles and the practically as-awesome Joseph Cotten.

Envision this:

The Hollywood fat cats supplant the notable Anton Karas zither score with an Abba soundtrack.

They supplant the eerie sewers of post-WW2 Vienna with the allure of the Las Vegas Strip.

C'mon, you know it not just could happen, it's prone to happen.

Keep in mind when some nudnik got a craving to re-do John Frankenheimer's exemplary Manchurian Candidate a couple of years back, with ghastly results?

Review Gus Van Sant's pointless 1998 shot-for-shot redo of Hitchcock's historic point Psycho - however this time in wrong shading, and with useless performers?

As anyone might expect, these revamps of old top choices produce no moola in the cinema world.

Why?

All things considered, the motion picture administrators and their lapdogs typically evacuate the bits of enchantment that made the first film work. At that point they arbitrarily supplant those supernatural bits with stylish stuff they think will make the motion picture "better."

Shockingly, this helps me to remember a couple of my customers.

"Is that regular postal mail crusade I composed the previous fall as yet pulling in business?" I inquire.

"It was performing truly well," the customer says, "yet I got exhausted. So I played around a bit."

"What'd you do?"

"I changed the feature. Furthermore, I included a photograph of our grandkids' new horse, in light of the fact that Audrey and I thought that'd be kinda adorable. What's more, I changed my offer a bit."

Also, they're confused why the promotion doesn't work any longer.

Here're two lessons for agents all in all and advertisers particularly:

1) If your advertisement or site ain't broke, don't "alter" it.
