It will be interesting to see. Vertigo is such an iconic movie, one of my favs from my early childhood.

This is the lamest idea ever. Why would anyone want to remake this masterpiece? Next they gonna remake Citizen Kane 🤦🏼‍♂️

..

I don't know why they insist on remaking great classic films that still stand up but, while my initial response was 'hell no', I was a lot more open to it when I read RDJ's name. He's a great actor and really should have got an Oscar for Chaplin

Doesn't learn anything about Oz ?

Hitchock has so many films why would you remake THIS ONE

Hollywood, you could try and do something original for once instead of rebooting classics?

I refuse to believe that there isn’t a single original script they could make instead

The script will be written by Steven Knight, the ‘See’ and ‘Peaky Blinders’ creator who just signed on to write a ‘Star Wars’ film

Please don’t.

simply no need

Could be interesting in how it deals with some of the gender roles in a modern way, but a beat-by-beat remake is never welcomed for a classic such as this.

Nooooo please noooooo

Will be a classic akin to the remake of Psycho!

What’s next; Citizen Kane starring Chris Pratt?

First Harambe dies, now this 😩

5150Aamrit Nobody asks for this LOL 💀😵‍💫

People getting all bent out of shape about remake the classic Rear Widow. It has already been remade back in the late 80s, and guess what. it didnt remove the original film. All fine!!!

ooh. It's a classic, but if a studio wanted to do a modern take, I can't think of anybody better than RDJ to take it on.

Boss. His last few wernt great!

I'm sure it'll be just as good as the remake of Psycho that was such a giant blockbuster.

CCortave24 But why

This is equal parts horrifying & thrilling.

Why is Eric Bristow in the picture?

Send RDJ back to prison.

NO

Kinda surprised they want to remake such a classic

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Good Lord

Can we not keep doing this please?

why

This idea is obscene ... and insulting to the original.

The only good ideas are the ones that people already had almost 70 years ago

lol so stupid

msmegalodon Looks like Steve is a busy guy these days

Will it be like Psycho (1998)
