I just wish forever. I still don’t understand what Steve Martin was thinking when he took this on. Remaking such an incredibly perfect character and film brought to us by one of the funniest men ever Peter Sellers.
Maybe though, just maybe, it might be a hugely fitting homage and Martin might do Sellers proud. However from everything I’ve heard so far about changes, I really doubt it. I think it’s going to be a kick in the headstone for the originals. So I’m happy it’s delayed again, with the news from Coming Soon.
The Shawn Levy-directed comedy remake, starring Steve Martin, Kevin Kline, Beyoncé Knowles and Jean Reno, will now open on February 10, 2006…
…Distribution president Rory Bruer tells Variety that the move will give the studio, which inherited the project from MGM, a chance to develop its marketing effort.
“We’ve seen the film and we’re really excited,” he said. “We have an opportunity to really have a good, fresh start of the ‘Pink Panther’ franchise. We want the time to put together a proper campaign for it.”
BONG! BONG!…What’s that you ask? It’s the death knoll.
