- Guy Pearce, on how he feels about the plans by AMBI Pictures to produce the new take on his non-linear psychological thriller Memento. The 2000 film, though only director Christopher Nolan's second feature film, basically has turned heads and made him someone to look out for in the filming industry. Starring Pearce as a tattooed detective with memory loss trying to discover his wife's killer, the film is told in two different sequences interspersed back and forth during the film, a series in color shown in reverse order and another series in black-and-white that is shown chronologically. Still stands as one of my most favourite films of all time, it drags audience into the mental state of Pearce's unique memory loss, whilst brilliantly bringing both the sequences into one cohesive narrative and riveting end. The remake plans have sparked extreme reactions from critics and movie goers, with some agreeing with Pearce on the basis of questioning what's the point since the entire magic of the film's suspense (thus spoiler) is already known by audience, plus it's just too soon for a remake. Some on their other hand are giving support with arguments that not all great remakes need a great deal of lapse, quoting the example that it only took Nolan himself eight years to revisit the Batman franchise after Joel Schumacher left it in 1997. In a statement, AMBI Pictures shared "Memento is a masterpiece that leaves audiences guessing not just throughout the film, but long after as well, which is a testament to its daring approach. We intend to stay true to Christopher Nolan’s vision and deliver a memorable movie that is every bit as edgy, iconic and award-worthy as the original. It’s a big responsibility to deliver something that lives up to the mastery of the original, but we are extremely excited and motivated to bring this puzzle back to life and back into the minds of moviegoers.”
