The Hollywood Reporter has a story on Roland Emmerich, noting that he's
getting ready to shop a Lawrence of Arabia remake. So take whatever
complaints I would normally register about remaking a classic and amplify them
quite a bit, since we're talking about Roland Emmerich. He is apparently
oblivious to his oeuvre, as the director hopes "to do a little bit what
Godfather II did." But since he is the creator of Independence Day
and The Day After Tomorrow, it's more likely this will involve T.E.
Lawrence trekking across the entire desert to save his son, or some side
character winning World War I by heroically flying his Sopwith Camel into enemy
HQ.

I saw the 70mm remaster of Lawrence of Arabia in a theater. It was glorious.
