Hollywood remakes of Spanish cinema: trends and examples
Hollywood continues to adapt Spanish cinematic works for American audiences, a trend exemplified by the film ‘La invitación’. Directed by Olivia Wilde, the production is a remake of Cesc Gay’s ‘Sentimental’ and features a high-profile cast including Penélope Cruz, Seth Rogen, and Edward Norton.
This practice of remaking foreign films is a long-standing industry habit. Notable examples include the 2001 film ‘Vanilla Sky’, starring Tom Cruise, which served as a remake of Alejandro Amenábar’s 1997 film ‘Abre los ojos’. Other historical instances include the 2001 version of ‘El cebo’, directed by Sean Penn, which was based on a 1958 Spanish-Swiss co-production.
