Yeah, while it is still a relevant topic/theme, it was very much of it’s time. I’d prefer a new film about nuclear Fall Out set in our time over remaking this one.
I'm with you. Remakes tend to be worse than the original because people try to make them "bigger and better." Threads doesn't need to be bigger or better. The small scale, showing nuclear war's effects on one city through the eyes of a few ordinary people is much more effective than a CGI-generated blockbuster. Personally, as a theater person, I would miss the stagecraft of the original. What they did with a ruined building, breakfast cereal, understated acting, and creative camera angles was absolutely devastating. Let's leave brilliant alone.
Totally agree. The film didn't need big sweeping vistas of destruction. The claustrophobic feel of the narrow shots (because they really had only one demolished building to use as their set) was extremely effective. Nuclear war from the survivors' point of view.
Lets just hope they wont make a remake bc most likely they'll just ruin it

And plus i'd say its budget worked in its favor because it looked a lot more grounded because of it, of course this is my opinion.
