Anyone going to see "The Ladykillers" tomorrow?

[terrya]

The new Coen brothers film with Tom Hanks?

The remake of the classic Ealing Studios' comedy with Alec Guiness from the 50's?

I don't know about this...the original was a classic.

1. Looks funny

and The Onion AV Club liked it. That's usually a recommendation I agree with.

2. Going Saturday....

I'll see anything by the Coen Brothers.

3. Another T-bone Burnett soundtrack - this time Gospel....

I'll enjoy that!

My opinion: If anyone can remake an Ealing Studio movie (well), it'd be the Coen Bros... :thumbsup:

4. ¿Sí o No?

Who wrote The Ladykillers? I thought it was Faulkner, but I'm probably wrong.

7. Unless there's another Ladykillers, no

William Rose was an American writer, who worked in British films for a decade from 1948; Genevieve (1953) and The Smallest Show on Earth (1957), and wrote five scripts for Ealing between 1954 and 1957 - the most famous being the black comedy The LadyKillers (1955). Rose returned to America to write for Stanley Kramer and others; It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? (1967).
