I hate that all these "modern, gritty retellings" of fairy tales are in production. The descriptions for all of them sound like they've got something to prove, that they're twisting something innocent into something adult, but in reality no matter what they do it's unlikely they'll match the honest brutality of the original texts.

From AICN:

[quote]Beaks: It sounds like you are about to shift gears fairly dramatically with WARGAMES.
Gordon: Yeah.

Beaks: That could be perilous. It’s a movie that our generation knows front to back. How do you approach WARGAMES in a way that I guess honors the original, but is also very much its own thing?
Gordon: I think that’s obviously the goal of what we are going to try and do, which is to honor everything about the original. I think it all comes down to the fact that the world has changed a lot. Technology has changed a lot, and the world of hackers has changed a lot; that somebody would accidentally hack into some part of the government that they didn’t mean to is actually a lot more plausible now. To trigger something that they didn’t mean to, just because they were poking around… it’s a weekly news story that somebody got into the NSA or LulzSec. It’s everywhere now, and, essentially, that story is a lot more plausible in 2011, ‘12, ’13, than it was in 1983. That’s essentially how we are approaching it.

Beaks: Would nukes be involved?
Gordon: I can’t imagine they wouldn’t somehow, right? I mean it’s got to be some international destabilizer of some sort, and nukes… there are people who argue that if there were no nukes, then we would have already had World War III. There are people who argue that the threat of them means nothing happens. So that’s got to figure in somewhere. We are figuring that out now. We are working out the story right now.



This sounds like the correct approach to me. Here’s hoping they keep the emphasis on “plausibleâ€
