Casting the wild bunch should be interesting but I'll be amazed if the film is any good. I'm sure they'll cast younger, though half the actors look ten years younger these days anyway.

"THE WILD BUNCH---Mel Gibson is the director/co-writer of the Warner Bros. remake of the classic 1969 Sam Peckinpah Western that starred William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Ben Johnson and Warren Oates"
oh God, no! Ive always dreaded the day they even thought about this. Some remakes are borderline justifiable but tackling this is like thinking its a good idea to repaint the mona lisa with blunt crayons. The Bunch isnt a film that can be remade - the whole essence of it, its power and poignance, came because it was ageing western stars playing ageing outlaws. They dont exist anymore.
Forgive them, Sam. They know not what they do.

Oh calm down!
Every time one of these remakes is announced the fans scream "sacrilege" .
Not one. Not ONE has in any way eclipsed or damaged the reputation of the classic original. Critically or financially.
Rememer STRAW DOGS with Whatshisname?
Now go back to bed BillCarson.

JACKFU:
I had to add that the remake is set in 1950s London.
That is valid.
Could be quite good.
I am fine with this approach.

IKIRU---remake underway of the 1952 Akira Kurosawa movie. The remake is set in 1950s London. Stephen Woolley (CAROL) is the producer.
Thank goodness. I always thought Ikiru could use a good makeover. Color will be nice for a start.

Hold up, they're remaking The Wild Bunch too? Somebody get me a calendar—is today Christmas?

The Wild Bunch is my fave western, probably my fave movie !!!
And I don't want, or indeed need a remake.
It's one of the last movies where a director had more or less the freedom to put his vision
to film, and make a classic !
LEAVE IT ALONE !!!!!!!!!

JOKER---director Todd Phillips released a new photo of Joaquin Phoenix as The Joker.
Killer Clowns from Outer space? He's The Joker, not a Clown.
The thought occurred to me too. I get that they’re wanting to do something different with the character (a whole new take from Romero’s, from Ledger’s, from Timm and Hamill’s), but is this perhaps too different from the essence of the Joker? A joker afterall, while similar, is not the same as a circus clown, which is more the vibe I’m getting from these photos of Phoenix.
