But, if you haven't already driven a stake through the heart of your computer for bring you such dire news, there is more. Where the original, brilliant film was a shocking, riveting look at the British gangster scene and featured stunning performances from Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren, the new version will be relocated to Miami. Great. Fantastic, Paul. Why don't you cast Don Johnson and a pair of plastic boobs with a slippery grasp of the English language, just to finish it off? And maybe smear a little dog poo on the print?
 
Can't Hollywood do anything other than sequels or remakes at the present, They seem to be totally lacking in original ideas.

Leave the Long Good Friday alone!!!
 
Its just not right. Wicker Man, Get Carter, Italian Job, need I go on. Who are they going to use as the IRA involvement then?
 
Hang on - the zenith of bad idea is to be made by....

Paul WS Anderson?

Paul W 'RESIDENT EVIL' S Anderson?

PAUL W 'ALIEN VS PREDATOR' ANDERSON?

Hahahahahaha!

I feel sick.
 
No, no, no, no, no!!!!
They just cant do this, you wouldnt draw a beard on the Mona Lisa would you? Why trample all over one of the greatest British films ever made?
 
It wouldn't be so bad if they just called it something else - it will probably be a completely different story like the Italian Job was --- but they won't because they want to cash in on the name.
:(
 
Just watched the orginal version. Who can meet the standarRAB of which bob hoskins set?
They would have to do something along the lines of before Shand gets back to the UK before the yanks vist.
Or would they go for a complete rewrite and miss all those fantastic lines out?

Casino Manager: It was a good night. Nothing unusual.
Harold: "Nothing unusual," he says! Eric's been blown to smithereens, Colin's been carved up, and I've got a bomb in me casino, and you say nothing unusual?

Harold: I'm glad I found out in time just what a partnership with a pair of ******* like you would've been. A sleeping partner's one thing, but you're in a ****ing coma! No wonder you've got an energy crisis, you're so under the water!
