I really like the original. It made me discover an appreciation for classical music. On that alone I'd be open to seeing this remake, if it was movie-length.
The original is an easy include for top 100 best movies ever made and an absolute personal favorite of mine, which is why this adaptation is such a personal affront to my aesthetic tastes. I have no interest in this at all because it would be like someone dressing an old whore up as my dead wife and calling it the same.
I knew this would eventually get remade and ruined.
Kinda disappointed that they didn't go full we wuz mozart n shiet.
Is Hollywood just out of ideas? They’re gonna remake everything people liked before ad nauseum?
They have one idea: destroy your culture/history.
Yep. On the tv side I feel like they just randomly grab a TV guide from the 80s and decide to reboot
Amadeus (1984): "...that doesn't really work, does it? Did you try... shouldn't it be a bit more... Or this... This. Yes. Better? What do you think?"
Amadeus (current year): "Oh yuck who wrote this?"
My sentiments exactly.
he looks Asian too. they could have changed that with makeup, and I know Hollywood has the skill to do so. but no, explicitly Asian looking Mozart
I’ll just listen to some Mozart. I’d love a mini series about the great classical composers
I wish I saw this some 15 years ago while at the uni.
It's funny how they are calling it a "Sky Original Series".
Well, they got me. I'll pirate it.
I bet it'll suck, though. Those are some big shoes they want to fill. I love the original.
EDIT- oh, wait... it's a miniseries. Ugh. Maybe I won't bother after all.
What the fuck is wrong with you?

It would be pretty funny if they cast him because they assumed an Asian actor would already know his way around a piano.
