“Modern remake” as in “a remake set in the modern day instead of the original period”?
I think you know the answer to that question.
I honestly wasn’t sure what he meant by modern.
“Modern” = “made in the late '90s-present”
I mean, I didn’t lose respect for Jeff Bridges when he starred in the remake of True Grit, because it was superior to the original film adaptation (and really anything else starring John Wayne, for that matter).
I don’t consider alternate film adaptations remakes.
