Today I'd rather be...
... getting my hands dirty at the body shop with Jason Statham. (via)
"Evidently, the great Jason Statham is remaking - or rather re-adapting - Heat, the 1986 film which starred Burt Reynolds, which itself was based on a novel.
Given that William Goldman, who scripted the 80s picture as well as the book which inspired it, is returning to pen this new interpretation - sounds like we may get something of a hodge podge this time around...part remake of a film, part re-adaptation of his own novel, all resulting in something familiar but new. Word is the original film version was a bit troubled behind the scenes, thus the end product never quite nailed what The Powers That Be had probably hoped to achieve Perhaps this new version will net better results?
Brian De Palma (SCARFACE, BLOW OUT, THE FURY) will direct this new iteration, which - as mentioned above - will be scripted by William Goldman (THE PRINCESS BRIDE, MARATHON MAN, THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS) based upon his novel of the same name."
