City tour guide Julian Clapp said that there are still many people keen to see the locations on which the original film was made.

"It is a film that has lingered in many people's minds for a long time." he said.

Mr Clapp said he thought it was "absolutely fantastic" that a new version had been made but that it was "a shame" that the film-makers chose to use Eastbourne as the major location for the new movie.
