Colin Farrell’s 118-Minute Remake of a Cult Classic Sci-Fi Thriller Becomes a Streaming Sensation
In the best tradition of Hollywood messing with established icons, 2012 saw the remake of a classic film that replaced Arnold Schwarzenegger with Colin Farrell. Despite an A-list cast and production values that reflected its $125 million budget, the film failed to captivate critics, and instead went down as a heavily criticized remake. 14 years later, Farrell’s remake of one of the most beloved sci-fi thrillers of the 20th century has become a streaming smash hit.
