Spielberg takes most unnecessary remake since A GUY NAMED JOE. This time it is HARVEY!

... - and frankly I'm a little depressed by the latest news from Mike Fleming over at Variety. It seems that Steven Spielberg is next going to remake HARVEY, when he's finished with TINTIN. Thus far in Spielberg's career he's had two rather severe career missteps. The first was when he went to remake the beloved Spencer Tracy film, A GUY NAMED JOE with his film ALWAYS. The movie just didn't live up to the original. Then he wanted to recapture PETER PAN with HOOK - and again it did not wind up pretty. With HARVEY, he has an absolutely perfect original film starring Jimmy Stewart ...

Spielberg to Adapt Harvey
Row Three —
... how blue I may be, I’m smiling joyfully within minutes, as James Stewart’s Elwood shares with his family and friends the stories he has with his good friend, a six and a half foot tall invisible rabbit. It’s a film that has held up very well over the years and even those who I show this to that have trouble getting into classic American cinema seem to enjoy the movie quite a bit. Chalk this up as very surprising news then. While doing my daily browsing, I came across an article on Variety confirming that another adaptation of the award winning play is in the works - ...

... longer. After Tintin, he'll direct Harvey, based on Mary Chase's 1944 play about a man whose best friend is an invisible, six-foot-tall rabbit, for Fox and DreamWorks. And presumably he knows that somebody already made a perfectly good Jimmy Stewart-starring movie based on Harvey back in 1950, so don't expect your pointing that out to change his mind. Also, if Spielberg insists on casting Shia LaBeouf in this one, here's hoping he plays the unseen bunny. [BFDMemo/Variety] ...

Hollywood Elsewhere —
Dusty Rabbit Ears Steven Spielberg 's decision to direct an adaptation of Harvey , a 65 year-old Pulitzer Prize-winning play and a 59 year-old Universal film that starred James Stewart , is an essentially timid and conservative move. It's about looking back at age 62, communing with old-time sentimental America, potentially having fun with Tom Hanks (who's widely expected to play Stewart's role of Elwood P. Dowd) and for some reason wanting to slosh around in amiable charm and likable oddness, which has never been Spielberg's strong suit. Harvey , which 20th Century Fox ...
