I think that the Dirty Dozen should be left alone. The calibre of stars in the original cannot be matched today. The setting IS the film. It has to be a WWII film not some lamo terrorist/extremist crap! And what’s with some damsel-in-distress action!? I mean really! The dozen are supposed to hardened criminals who commited all sorts of horrible acts, not the kind that generally say “well, okay. Your poor little girl is in trouble, we’ll go get her just make sure you let us go afterwards.” They would be more likely to say: “Sorry for you, but we really don’t give a rat’s ass, now let us go or we’ll kill you!”
Dumb Idea.

Fist of all Hollywood needs more originality – stop the freaking remakes. Second, if you’re going to remake something you kinda have to stick to the original idea right? The producers are probably thinking that they need to update it for today’s teenage audience. They are probably betting that no one is going to remember the original one (made in 1967 I believe). Do you satisfy the fans of the original movie or do you think “re imagining” it will bring in more dollars?

I’d rather just see them kill lots of people and be completey bad ass motherfuckers lol.

As for Inglorious Bastards if that ever gets made by Tarantino its essitianly going to be a remake. His style is one of paying tribute to movies and if he does make it prolly going to be a remake of The Dirty Dozen. Tarantino even said it himself that Inglorious Bastards would be his version of the Dirty Dozen.

Ron Perlman for the LEE MARVIN Role.

Did you check out the hair-do Perlman had going in DUNGEON SIEGE? His attitude, size and potential coiffure opportunities DEMAND this.

Besides He can join the Uwe Boll / Guy Richie crossover club currently occupied by Jason Statham and Ray Liotta.

Also, with Quentin Tarantino’s “INGLORIOUS BASTARDS” still being mentioned frequently…seems like Ritchie really wants to be known as the ‘tarantino wannabe’ he is often labelled as…

oi!

Sounds ridiculas, and I think Guy Richie has proved himself to be a one trick pony, outside of his very small genre, he dosent have a clue, and the story for this sounds extremely poor.

remakes are just that, leftovers ‘cooked’ with modern technology. I think “re-imaging,” which, I’ll be the first to admit is a silly ‘modern’ term, is probably a better direction to take a project like this. John is right, the characters are the key. Guy is a man with vision and someone who has made a career out of creating likable, over the top characters. I think he may be just the man to lend some credibility and direction to a project like this. To me, this seems like a step in the right direction.
