Certain remakes are great. Carpenter's The Thing is better than the original.

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.

The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made - and that's a tricky balance.

It's hard for a hit to be bad for your career.
