Just saw an advert during Psych for a new series called 'Nikita'. Are we doing it again? What is it so far, two movies and a TV series? Anyone know anything about this most recent incarnation?
I thought Anne Parillaud was great in the original...
I own Anne as a vampire in Innocent Blood and as Queen Anne in The Man in the Iron Mask. I'm not fond of subtitles, I watch anime dubbed when I can, and the only movies that I actually own and watch subbed are Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Hero. I wouldn't even have given the original Nikita, being in French with subtitles, a try if I wasn't a fan of Anne's.
...it also had Jeanne Moreau, Jean Reno, and Tchéky Karyo!
I don't much care about Jeanne Moreau or Tchéky Karyo. I like Jean Reno, but I prefer him in The Professional and Ronin.
What can I say? I like 'em pervy!
I prefer Byrne's version to Karyo's, but my true love is reserved for Roy Dupuis' Michael in the USA series. He was fantastic!
I watched the new TV version today...
I didn't bother.
Was the other TV Michael this unambigious?
While I wouldn't call Roy's Michael sleazy/pervy I sure as HELL would never call him unambiguous. He was thoroughly complicated. I didn't bother to watch the new series debut in part because I saw someone excited about the new Nikita knocking the original TV series and Alias while talking the new series up. If fans of the new series have no respect for those shows I can't have any respect for their taste.
