The Institute for British Filmmaking has re-created its own version of “Silence of the Lambs”, and it may just prove to be superior to the original.
We can’t show you some of the new and wonderful things they have changed, but here’s a sneak peak at the famous Buffalo Bill scene, where the serial killer has his victim confined to a pit in his basement.
Buffalo Bill:
“I say, if it’s not too much trouble, if you’d be so kind – and I do hate to impose on you like this, and I must aver that I am truly sorry for the unsanitary conditions in which I’ve placed you, but I’m sure you understand given the gravity of the occasion and my special needs as a person of mental aberrations which I have little to no control over … as I was saying – and please say no if I am imposing too heavily upon your constitution … but would you mind putting just a small dab, or perhaps a little more, if you’re so inclined, of this lotion onto your epidermis – as long as your not contagious or have a skin condition for which said lotion will not be conducive to your overall wellbeing. I do thank you sincerely and wholeheartedly, and assure you that I am completely mad and think your skin will make a lovely throw-cover.”
50 words where 5 will do. The movie, so far, is six hours long, and that was after editing.
Oscar time is coming! (Unless it’s the British Oscars … which will be swept by movies about people sipping tea in gardens in India talking about where the world went wrong and why are the darkies revolting and should we all have a lovely bit of buggering before playing croquet?)
