Scorsese's 1991 "Cape Fear" Still Outshines Apple TV+'s New Series
Apple TV+ has released a new Cape Fear series starring Javier Bardem, Amy Adams, and Patrick Wilson, adapted by Nick Antosca, to moderate reviews. Critics agree it falls short of Martin Scorsese's 1991 film remake starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, and Juliette Lewis. Scorsese's version stood out by deliberately blurring the lines between good and evil, a quality the new series struggles to match.

When people ask, "Does this really need to get remade?" it often refers to things such as Cape Fear, the new Apple TV series based on three existing source materials: the novel The Executioners by John D. MacDonald, the 1962 film by J. Lee Thompson, and the 1991 film by Martin Scorsese. The new series, starring Javier Bardem, Amy Adams, and Patrick Wilson and adapted for the small screen by Nick Antosca, has been relatively well received, but the general enthusiasm feels muted. As well-acted and constructed as the series is, it pales in comparison to Scorsese's ingenious adaptation work in his remake starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, and Juliette Lewis, which laid the groundwork for Apple's Cape Fear. Being fascinated by the moral grey, Scorsese's movie wisely blurred the lines between good and evil, which differed from the thrilling but simplistic original film starring Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck.

The nursery rhyme "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" has seemingly innocent lyrics, but its theorised origin is surprisingly dark. One leading theory links it to HM Prison Wakefield in England, where female inmates allegedly walked around a mulberry bush in the prison yard. Historians have not definitively confirmed the theory, but the rhyme joins a long list of children's songs suspected to have troubling roots.

80.4% of 2025 vehicles had a grayscale color such as white, black, silver or gray. The only fun color to crack into the top five was blue with a 9.1% market share. Sports cars are most likely to have colorful paint jobs, while trucks are the least. Automakers have embraced colorful designs as blue interiors are coming back and bright hues are being added to numerous models.

White dominated with a 25.7% share, while black and gray weren t far behind at 23.4% and 22.9%, respectively.

Remaining colors are basically insignificant as brown and beige had a 0.4% market share in 2025, while orange followed at 0.1%. A number of once reasonably popular colors have faded away over the past three decades, as gold and purple are down nearly 100%. Brown and green saw declines of around 84%, while beige dropped 73.8%. iSeeCars On the flip side, gray saw a huge 528.4% increase, while black jumped 64.5%. White even got 16.7% more popular, despite already being the most picked hue in 1996. The study from iSeeCars also found the percentage of grayscale trucks jumped from 43.4% in 1996 to 83.5% last year. That was the largest move toward grayscale colors of any vehicle category. iSeeCars Sports cars were the most colorful vehicles around as only 63.6% of them were grayscale last year.

One of the most plausible is that grayscale colors are widely accepted by consumers, so dealerships order a majority of vehicles in boring hues. Needless to say, it s far easier to find a buyer for a black or white truck versus something more exotic like green or purple, so this clearly plays a significant role too. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751"); } }); Most Popular Truck Colors by Market Share RankColor20251996% Change1White33.6%27.0%24.6%2Black23.4%9.7%141.8%3Gray19.2%3.4%464.9%4Red7.6%21.4%-64.7%5Silver7.3%3.3%118.4%6Blue6.3%12.6%-50.3%7Green1.0%14.5%-92.8%8Brown0.9%3.7%-76.2%9Orange0.4%0.0%681.6%10Beige0.3%1.0%-66.5%11Yellow0.0%0.2%-93.6%12Gold0.0%1.5%-99.5%13Purple0.0%0.3%-99.3%Grayscale colors*83.5%43.4%92.4%Non-grayscale colors16.5%55.3%-70.2% SWIPE Most Popular SUV Colors by Market Share RankColor20251996% Change1White25.1%22.2%12.8%2Black23.4%14.5%61.5%3Gray21.9%4.0%444.7%4Blue9.5%8.8%8.4%5Silver8.9%3.1%189.7%6Red6.8%17.5%-61.0%7Green2.9%21.3%-86.4%8Brown0.5%3.8%-86.7%9Beige0.5%1.7%-73.2%10Orange0.3%0.3%-10.0%11Yellow0.1%0.2%-28.4%12Gold0.1%1.3%-95.7%13Purple0.0%0.4%-94.6%Grayscale colors*79.3%43.8%80.9%Non-grayscale colors20.7%55.2%-62.6% SWIPE Most Popular Passenger Car Colors by Market Share RankColor20251996% Change1Gray28.4%3.8%652.1%2Black23.7%17.5%35.0%3White21.2%17.8%19.2%4Blue9.9%9.1%9.3%5Silver7.4%11.2%-34.3%6Red7.1%20.2%-64.7%7Green1.0%10.1%-89.6%8Beige0.5%2.1%-78.0%9Orange0.2%0.4%-41.8%10Yellow0.2%0.4%-50.4%11Brown0.1%2.3%-94.1%12Purple0.1%1.1%-88.7%13Gold0.0%3.3%-98.7%Grayscale colors*80.7%50.3%60.4%Non-grayscale colors19.3%48.9%-60.6% SWIPE Most Popular Sports Car Colors by Market Share RankColor20251996% Change1Gray21.2%3.0%598.0%2Black20.9%20.5%1.9%3White16.6%14.1%17.4%4Blue15.5%9.9%56.7%5Red10.8%23.4%-54.1%6Silver4.9%17.4%-71.9%7Green4.5%7.5%-40.3%8Yellow2.3%1.0%142.5%9Purple1.8%1.2%52.1%10Orange0.8%0.6%38.6%11Brown0.2%0.4%-60.9%12Gold0.2%0.3%-37.2%13Beige0.1%0.3%-44.1%Grayscale colors*63.6%55.0%15.5%Non-grayscale colors36.2%44.5%-18.7% SWIPE
