If non-american writers were so bad, then the american film and tv industry would not buy the rights to make that many remakes. Example for Sci-Fi: Solaris (remake of a russian film based on a polish book). Example for the dutch: The Kingdom (Stephen King's branded remake of Lars von Trier's Ridget). |
Von Trier is not dutch, although quite a few of us wish he was.
