There are no new stories. It only depends on how good you remake them.” Dieses Zitat wird dem Hollywoodregisseur Howard Hawks zugeschrieben1, dessen Film SCARFACE von 1932 ebenfalls erneut verfilmt wurde. Brian De Palmas Remake verlegt das Gangsterdrama aus dem düsteren Chicago der Prohibitionszeit in die farbenfrohe Welt Südfloridas der 1980er Jahre. Anstelle von Glencheck und seidenem Morgenmantel tragen die Mafiamitglieder Goldkettchen und bunte Freizeithemden wenn sie – angeführt von dem Exilkubaner Tony Montana (Al Pacino) – jetzt Kokain statt Alkohol schmuggeln. Obwohl beide Filme im Grunde die gleiche Geschichte erzählen, tun sie dies mit vollkommen unterschiedlichen Mitteln: Die bedrohlichen Schatten des Originals mussten einer grellen Welt weichen, vor der nun offen Orgien und Blutbäder abgehalten werden, während sich das Original mit Andeutungen begnügen musste. Über Remakes zirkulieren zahllose Klischees und Vorbehalte, von denen einige in ihrem Kern sicherlich wahr und richtig, jedoch die meisten schlichtweg falsch und unhaltbar sind. Deswegen ist dem eigentlichen Hauptteil der vorliegenden Arbeit eine umfangreiche Untersuchung des Phänomens Remake vorgestellt: Darin werde ich mich zuerst der Forschungsgeschichte widmen. Die Literaturlage zum Thema kann bestenfalls als spärlich beschrieben werden. Verevis: “Although the cinema has been repeating and replaying its own narratives and genres from its very beginnings, film remaking has received little critical attention in the field of cinema studies.“2 Dafür zeichnen eine Reihe von Gründen verantwortlich: Erstens sind Remakes ein noch vergleichsweise neuer Forschungsgegenstand, da sie erst spät zum Objekt wissenschaftlicher Betrachtung wurden, zweitens ist die Remakeforschung noch immer (v.a. in Europa) durch nationale Vorbehalte gegen amerikanische Remakes geprägt und wird drittens von der Filmindustrie selbst nicht aktiv unterstützt. Doch dieser Mangel ist gleichzeitig eine Chance, lassen sich auf diesem Gebiet so doch noch zahlreiche Entdeckungen machen, zu denen diese Arbeit hoffentlich einige beitragen kann. Zuerst war das Phänomen Remakes von der Presse im Rahmen von Filmkritiken aufgegriffen worden, wobei hier ein noch recht schwammiger und aufgrund historischer Veränderungen wechselhafter Remakebegriff verwendet wurde, den ich kurz nachzeichnen und mit 1 Constantine Verevis: Film Remakes, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2006, S. 1. 2 Verevis, S. 1. 1 Beispielen unterlegen werde. Filmkritiker waren es meist auch, die Remakelexika entwickelten, die eine erste Grundlage für detaillierte Forschungsvorhaben bildeten und bis heute gern als Nachschlagewerke bei der Filmauswahl zu Rate gezogen werden. Aufgrund ihrer mangelhaften (wenn überhaupt existierenden) Definitionen und daraus resultierenden zweifelhaften Filmauswahl, sind nahezu alle dieser Lexika auf ihre Weise problematisch. Diese Filmlexika wiederum fungierten als Grundlage für erste Typisierungen und als Auswahlhilfe für weitergehende Untersuchungen.

Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men. 2. Title: 12 Angry Men ISBN: 5050070005172 Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the directorial debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in New York City, the 12 jurors retire to consider their verdict. The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his father, and eleven of the jurors do not hesitate in finding him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves - in a fresh light. 3.

  • (1936 to 1971) and the Card Collectors Hall of Fame Idea
    Hobby History Who’s Who in Card Collecting (1936 to 1971) and the Card Collectors Hall of Fame Idea By George Vrechek A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...before there were Star Wars cards, the Internet, eBay, card stores, or card shows, collectors had to find each other through Facebook pages. No, that wasn’t how they did it either. They used the U.S. Postal Service and hobby publications to find out who else in the galaxy was collecting cardboard. Burdick’s Bulletin In previous SCD articles, I have described how lonesome, twenty-year-old card collector Lionel Carter hunted around in 1938 until he found collector Harry Lilien who led him to the “father of card collecting,” Jefferson Burdick of Syracuse, New York. Burdick started his bi-monthly Card Collectors Bulletin (CCB) in 1936. In the very first issue he effectively started the first “Who’s Who” in card collecting by listing all (15) of his subscribers and their collecting interests. Collectors were hungry to find others who had similar interests and who might compliment their own needs with available duplicates. Baseball card collector Carter circled the names of promising subscribers on his copies of the CCB and went about writing to each of them. Burdick continued to list new subscribers though 1938 when the subscription list appears to have been all of 34 people. Some of the subscribers in those years whose names continued to show up in CCB were Carter, John D. Wagner, Ray Walker, Don Van Brakle, P.M. Nagle, Harry Lilien, Paul Ritchie, Edwards Lancaster, and A.O.
