Director Lars von Trier, had been rumoured to be getting the ball rolling on a sequel or remake of Martin Scorsese and Robert Deniro’s Taxi Driver. But that rumour didn’t last long, and is now busted.

Von Trier’s business partner Peter Aalbaek Jensen tells ScreenDaily that “what is written” by the Danish film magazine “is not true.” He confirmed that the two directors had met at the Berlinale but said rumors von Trier wanted to re-make Taxi Driver were “rubbish”.
I would like to see a number of classic stars that endured the Hollywood machine to return to old roles just to see where they are 20-30 years later. This is how I feel about Tron, and it looks like it is shaping up to be a suitable sequel with its original star.
So I wouldn’t be opposed to a Taxi Driver sequel, but still ok with the news that they are not.
Is there any film over 20 years old, who’s star is still making films that you would like to see update their own franchise?
