I would have to agree here. If the remake were better than the original, in SubSimmers view point, it would probably be a commercial flop. It may get critical acclaim for acting, writing etc. but it would still be avoided by todays movie going crowd. On the other hand if they make a 'Hollywood' version, complete with high profile actors it would be another 'U 571' with a heavy dose of 'Pearl Harbor' tossed in. Yikes.
