Thumbs down for me (my brothers liked it, though).

As Rogue said, it's a sequel. It's difficult to tell without seeing a trailer because the two titles are so similar, though.

However, to your point, there was at least one case of a remake coming out almost immediately after the original: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Six years between the original and remake. Let the Right One In and Let Me In are even closer, at 2 years apart.


The English language version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a remake of the a Swedish version of the same film. Similarly, Let The Right One In was a Swedish film and Let Me in was an American remake. Also, the US remake of the Japanese film Ring as The Ring.

I think there is a big difference in remaking a foreign language film that not a lot of people in the US have a chance to see, and remaking the same film in the same language.


The Departed was a 2006 Scorsese remake of a Hong Kong film called Infernal Affairs that came out in 2002.
