Scorsese versus Sanjuro

[Antonio Santos]

I have read a new about two forthcoming Scorsese?s projects. Both remakes:
He is working at present on a new version of Kurosawa?s Tsubaki Sanjuro 
(without Meg Ryan, I hope!). When it is finished, he will try to remake 
Ingmar Bergman?s Wild  Strawberries, with Gregory Peck recreating  the 
old professor? s character.
Scorsese is looking to renovate his art with  films of the past, we could 
say.
