I have to say that it always seems a bit questionable to me as to why you would want to remake a classic. If any films should be remade it is the ones that are disappointing. I'm sure that is good logic, but it isn't one that is followed by Hollywood.
For those people who aren't familiar with Rebecca it tells the story of the marriage of the De Winters and their home Manderley. Maxim's first marriage was to Rebecca who the new Mrs De Winter wants to know more about. The Manderley house keeper is the spooky Mrs Danvers. The leads are played by Armie Hammer, Lily James and Kristin Scott Thomas. Have to say that Kristin Scott Thomas is rather good as Mrs Danvers, but there isn't much chemistry between Hammer and James.
You can't help compare the movie to the classic original and my advice would be to watch the Hitchcock version and give this one a miss.
