Invasion of the Body Snatchers. So what version is the best?

I think the actual existing paranoia inherent in every frame of the original makes it unbeatable.

I just saw the most recent interpretation, and enjoyed it. I thought Nicole Kidman was great in the movie.

i now have a crush on her.. i liked the new one and the 78 one equally, both different and shine in their own ways.

I resisted temptation and watched the '78 version last night as opposed to going to see the new one. Between the three Body Snatcher movies I've seen I have to go with the '78 version as being the best. Great cast, good performances, very creepy moments. And like someone said before, you can't beat that ending...gives me chills just thinking about it.

Nah, I'm a big Body Snatchers fan but Nicole Kidman just kills it for me. One of the most boring actresses of our generation. If they had cast anyone else besides her I probably would have given the movie a chance.

really? i love her...

 

[Tanin]

I prefer the original myself.

 

[L.A.]

Im not sure which version I saw since it was soooo long ago but its the one with Jeff Goldblum.

 

[dpm07]

really? i love her...

So do I. I think she's stunningly beautiful and timeless in her age. She's also an amazing actress, and it was really evidenced in this film. She really was the focal point the entire film, and had to do a great deal of acting to convey so many emotions. She never bores me, and usually impresses me. While I really didn't care for the movie Moulin Rouge, it did prove her versatility by her showcasing that she can sing.

I actually went might not have gone to this film if she hadn't been in it, as I had already seen two previous versions of this film. However, I went, and I was not disappointed at all.

WB is lining up another remake.

Warner Bros. has launched a remake of the classic science-fiction movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and set the project up with producer John Davis.
“The Conjuring 2” screenwriter David Leslie Johnson has been tapped to write the script.
The original 1956 movie is based on Jack Finney’s 1954 novel “The Body Snatchers” in which the small California town of Mill Valley is invaded by aliens plant pods, which replicate humans as they sleep. The resulting replicants have no emotion.
The movie, set in the fictional California town of Santa Mira and shot in less than three weeks in black and white in Sierra Madre, Glendale, Chatsworth and Los Felix, ended with the aliens taking over. It was produced by Walter Wanger, directed by Don Siegel and starred Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter.



“Invasion of the Body Snatchers” grossed $3 million in its initial release and grew in critical stature to the point that it was selected in 1994 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
The film has been remade three times: in 1978 with Donald Sutherland starring and Philip Kaufman directing; in 1993 as “Body Snatchers” with Gabrielle Anwar starring and Abel Ferrara directing; and in 2007 as “The Invasion” with Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman starring and Oliver Hirschbiegel directing.
Davis has feature film producing credits dating back to 1987’s “Predator” and including “Chronicle,” “Joy,” “I Robot,” “Grumpy Old Men” and the upcoming “The Predator.” Johnson’s credits include “Orphan,” “Wrath of the Titans,” “Red Riding Hood” and the upcoming “The Conjuring 3.
