Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Man, that's some crummy design for a house with a handicapped person in it. Is that more for narrative convenience (it keeps Blanche a prisoner on the second floor) or a reflection of just how awful people were at accommodating the needs of the disabled back then?
They did a remake about 30 years after the first one. If they keep to that schedule, another remake should be along around 2020. I would not do what the 1990s remake did and change when it is set because the movie (as was mentioned to me) has a very cell-phone unfriendly plot.
Hmmm. Assuming the actors are about the same age as Bette Davis was in WHTBJ, actors who will be the right age in 202* would include Charlize Theron, Drew Barrymore and Angelina Jolie.
(It's Blanche's house and she's not poor, so money isn't the issue)
