While Hollywood has been busy remaking dozens of beloved movies such as “Overboard,” “A Star Is Born,” and “The Lion King,” actress Carol Kane thinks “The Princess Bride” should not be one of them.
“I don’t think a movie remake [would work] because I think it’s perfect,” Kane, told Page Six at The Paley Media Center on Thursday. “I would gather that Rob Reiner [the movie’s director] would say the same and everybody in it would say the same.”
In the 1987 film, Kane played Valerie, the wife of Miracle Max, who was portrayed by Billy Crystal.
The rest of the cast was filled with other notables including Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn, André the Giant, Christopher Guest, Fred Savage, Robin Wright, Peter Falk and more.
The 66-year-old actress expressed that the film’s writer, William Goldman, was such a genius that he couldn’t be beat.
“I think that I cannot imagine them doing a remake although now they’re doing remakes of just about everything,” she told us. “But why re-make something that’s perfect the first time around? That’s what I think.”
