In this I compare the thrillers that have been remade in recent years in order to attract a younger audience.

1. Old Thrillers vs. The Remake

2. The Departed
(2006)
• This version of the film was
a lot more successful
• Possibly because of the
American themes to it
• Also due to the American
cast and director.
• It won 4 Oscars meaning
that it had recognition
Infernal Affairs (2002)
• Due to this film being made
in Hong Kong, by a Chinese
director it means that not
all of the content would
have been accessible to an
audience
• It was made in Chinese
which would have put
American audiences off

3. Casino Royale
(2006)
• This remake of the old Bond
saw a new actor Daniel
Craig take up the mantle of
Bond
• It was directed by a more
current director and was up
to date in terms of time
period.
(1957)
• This film was a successful
Bond film already but
eventually became
outdated
• It is still considered ‘classic
Bond’ but the fresher look
on it with the new 007
appealed to a younger
audience.
