There are a lot of people who aren’t too enthused by the idea of remaking what many consider to be an immaculate movie and one of these is Cary Elwes himself. The actor took to Twitter to respond to the news: “There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one.”
His tweet was in response to a Variety post that reads: “Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra says that ‘very famous people whose names I won’t use’ want to redo Norman Lear’s The Princess Bride.”
