I think remaking "Red Dragon" is a slap in the face of everyone involved in the 1986 original, which was a truly excellent film.

It's so unnecessary!  r Please remake crappy movies the way they should have been made the first time or make movies decades after they were originally made, because they can be presented better.  

Anthony Hopkins has been one of my favorite actors since "Magic" and "The Bunker" but that is how old he should be to play Lecter in a sequel.  He's too advanced in years.  Get someone new and let them sink their teeth into it.  In fact, I would hope the "Red Dragon" movie would be a prequel to the movie, "Manhunter", since I always wondered what happened as Lecter was tracked and caught before his appearance by Brian Cox.

I like Harrison Ford a lot.  But, I never liked him in the role of Jack Ryan because I thought Alec Baldwin was perfect in that role.  "Hunt For Red October" is my favorite of that series, while the rest just seemed like Harrison Ford vehicles.  I almost can't stand to watch them because Harrison Ford seems like Alec Baldwin's understudy.  If they make anymore Jack Ryan movies, they should lure back Baldwin.
