This Video essay about Vanilla Sky focuses on the film that it's remake of; Abre los ojos aka Open Your Eyes. Which stars Penelop Cruz. Following on from the success of Jerry Maguire, Tom Cruise and Cameron Crowe decided to make this movie - which includes a pre 9/11 shot of the twin towers and also they shut down Times Square in New York for a few hours to get an iconic shot.

But is it any good or a soulless remake?
