The director has revealed he'll be changing things, including one significant scene [SPOILERS]

“There’ll be people that see the original movie and go, ‘Why hasn’t he remade that movie? Why hasn’t he made this incredibly punchy, unrelenting ending?'”

“But I would argue, with my characters and their journey, I’m following through their journey in terms of agency and how they would react,” he added. “What I’ve taken from Christian’s film is the satire, the exploration of the social rules, and how we react.”

The director also changed one of original film’s most poignant scenes. “I’ve made an incredibly bleak movie before, so I didn’t feel I needed to make another one,” he explained.

“You can give people an incredibly tense roller coaster ride that has thematic nourishment and things to take away and talk about in the pub, but it can be fun.

“People need fun… Fun in inverted commas,” added Watkins. “I’ve sat with audiences and people come out of this absolutely rinsed, like you would on a great roller coaster ride. I wanted to make a film that is tense and has people screaming at the screen.”
