When producers secure the remake rights to a film, they pretty much can do whatever they want. The original - with David being 17 and Jade 15 - didn't face that problem. No way he wouldn't have had girls - and boys, too - all over him. Alex was coming off his very buff role in Magic Mike. David is supposed to be just graduating high school and too shy to approach fellow senior Jade. I like Alex Pettyfer's work a lot, but he shouldn't have been cast as David, not because he couldn't act the role (he did well with it) but because he was too old. This is just sort of vanilla, if a bit anxious. It remodels the guts of the narrative without retaining its bite. It was melodramatic and very much a soap opera - but it made the most of what it was. The original Endless Love was controversial - either good or bad, depending on who is describing it - but it certainly was memorable. But if the original was very good - or at least very memorable - a remake will be quite a challenge. (Shakespeare thrives on that.) If the original was forgettable (or even forgotten), a remake will probably be easy (although not necessarily any better). ![]() Would we say that no one can revive a Broadway play because it was so good the first time?
