"You Have To Be An Idiot To Adapt It & So That's What I Am": Vertigo Remake Writer Discusses The Challenges Behind Redoing Hitchcock's Classic

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

Vertigo remake writer Steven Knight has discussed the challenges behind redoing Alfred Hitchcock's classic movie, and whether it's even a good idea. Hitchcock's Vertigo is an important classic psychological thriller, following retired detective John "Scottie" Ferguson (James Stewart) suffering from the title condition. He's hired as a private investigator to tail his friend's eccentric wife. A remake was confirmed in 2023, with Knight attached to write and Robert Downey Jr. potentially set to star as the core detective. Since then, there's been little word about the Peaky Blinders creator's progress on the movie.
