Demi Moore has spoken out about Channing Tatum’s desired remake of her 1990 classic, Ghost.
The actress revealed that she thinks some movies are “better left alone.” However, she believes Channing Tatum has the skills to make the Ghost reboot a success.
“There are some films that are better left alone, but it depends on what you want to do,” the 61-year-old actress told Variety in an interview published September 2.
“The success of Ghost is really about alchemy. Think of Whoopi (Goldberg), who anchored the comedy in a magical way,” she added. “Or Tony Goldwyn, the boy next door who becomes the most unsuspecting villain. And the sweetness and masculinity of Patrick Swayze. Channing is incredibly smart and talented – who knows what he would bring to this movie if it ever saw the light of day?”
Asked if she would reprise her role, Moore said: “I’ll see what they come up with.”
She also discussed the film’s famous scene in which she and Patrick Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009, mold clay on a pottery wheel. “I was actually terrible at making pottery in Ghost,” Moore confessed. “I heard that pottery had a resurgence during the pandemic. People were buying kilns.”
The comments came after Channing Tatum revealed in 2023 that his production company Free Association had acquired the rights to Ghost and was looking to remake it.
