The Warriors - a classic 80's flick set in the NY gang scene is getting a facelift (and not for the best imo)
http://warriorsmovie.co.uk/new-movie/*danger - incoming rant*
There's a whole slew of reasons why i think this film will suck balls, which makes me wonder why the hell do tv/movie makers op to dessicrate classic films instead of making thier own stuff?
They're supposed to be all artsy and stuff when was the last time they actually created something?
Lets have a quick look at some of the recent(ish) films/shows that have been released
The mechanic
Clash of the titans
Fame
Nightmare on Elm Street
Miami vice
the A-team
BSG
Knight Rider
V
The bionic woman
Hawaii 5-0
All of these, for good or bad are remakes ( and most suck sweaty ballsack)
Whats next? well actually dont answer that, so far i've found around 40 remakes in various stages of being anally raped, from Red Dawn ( WOLVERINES!!) to Masters of the fracking Universe ( yes that p.o.s he-man film with Dolph Lungdren).
All i can say is that they better rethink that remake of The Crow or alot of people are going to serisouly consider taking up arson as a new hobby.
Hell they're even planning to remake films that were released (relativly) recently - Like Judge Dredd, Daredevil and so on
frack it, i'm off to Hollywood with my DvD/Video Collection, by my count i'll make enough to own half the planet in a couple of years.
