The original <strong>Day<\/strong> is a masterpiece of filmmaking. While its message of the need for peace or suffer annihilation is as timely as ever, I don&#8217;t think that current-day Hollywood can remake the movie and keep it as plot and dialogue driven as the original was. I fear that the temptation to include rediculous and bloated action and visual effects sequences will be too much.
