I would love to ask Matt Reeves why the gender identity and origin of the character of Eli (Abby) is virtually absent from his remake. For me, this is so important to the deeper understanding of the narrative.
Okay...so his script was too dark and challenging to finance....BUT we want to remake this other Swedish film that is (gasp) Dark and Challenging.....okay then Reeves...that doesn't make a lot of sense to me at all
I realize that I'm six years too late replying here, but one thing to consider is that studios typically like to play it safe whenever they can. A remake of a dark and challenging film that's been well received on the international film circuit and has a cult following built into it can be seen by a studio as a safer option than funding a totally original film from a relatively young director that's dark and challenging. Granted, considering how much success Reeves has had in the past several years since, I'd wager he'd be able to make this film of his rather easily now. Especially if he hits a homerun next year with his Batman film.
His Batman movie is going to be FANTASTIC!
You can say you’ve been supportive since day 1💯💯 same with me

Still to this day hope he gets to make The Invisible Woman
Looks like Gary Oldman, interesting!
2 years is old?
He speaks so fast. Great director though!
