Sounds amazing. I loved the original film, but BRAINSTORM is definitely ripe for a remake. DIANE LANE is great casting. She’s a great actress and even reminds me of Natalie Wood.
Diane Lane would be perfect for this role/project. Sounds awesome. It will be great too see ‘Brainstorm’ done right.
I agree. Diane Lane would be ideal. Such a talented actress. I hope this comes to fruition.
