Why do they have to crap on the classics!!!

The Warriors (http://comingsoon.net/news.php?id=6088)

From ComingSoon.net source: Variety

Paramount and MTV Films have hired Terence Winter, Emmy-nominated four times for The Sopranos scripts, to pen helmer Tony Scott's remake of The Warriors, reports Variety. The film is an updated version of Paramount's 1979 action film, directed by Walter Hill.

The trade says the project is envisioned as having a heightened reality compared to the original, which was set in New York City. As in the original, the plot will center on the Warriors gang being wrongly accused of assassinating a rival gang leader during a truce and being forced to make their way home through hostile territory.

Writers John Glenn and Travis Wright were first aboard to pen the "Warriors" update, followed by Joel Wyman.

Never seen it actually. Know what it is about, looked kind of bad to me, but it is a cult classic (but so is Lost Boys and that is ****), so I kind of want to see it....but

Tony Scott (who did his share of good films such as Spy Game and Man on Fire) is directing so I think a remake could be pretty good, unless MTV really is pinning it and **** it all up.

Well, you should know better. Walter Hill and David Giler produced Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Alien: Ressurection, AND Alien vs. Predator. They also wrote the 3rd, and added the Ash sub-plot to Alien and changed the names to what they are now.

allright i have known they were gonna make a remake for quite sometime and i was pissed at first but i will wait and see it before i put my opinion on it
but anyway what about casting who do u guys think should be casted in the updated roles

syrus- the rock ( who didnt see a little rock in syrus i though he screamed rock)

swan- thomas jane ( he has sorta that stone cold face that swan had)

the orphans- the strokes ( they look ratty and homeless and not to much acting is required

cowboy- will friedel

rembrant- Khleo Thomas

mercy- mila kunis

thats all i got for now

This is true, but the difference here is, JC's The Thing was made in the 80's a time when directors didn't shy away from an X rated certificate for a movie audience. Now a days filmmakers want to make the big bucks so they require more bums on seats.

A Thing film made now would be targeted for the widest audience possible, probably a younger audience with a PG 13 rating at best.

Severly dated!!!! Then you'd better remake every film ever made and release them every other decade then.

My original point being.....I am cynical about a new Warriors film considering the way they dumb films down these days, and cater for younger audiences. Not always a good sign when remaking classics, that had an adult or gritty viceral theme to them.

By the way what happened to the art of making original films? What's the matter? People can't come up with new ideas anymore? Or aren't they educated enough to be aware that other works of fiction or fact are out there, and haven't been given the big screen treatment yet?

Of course, new ideas are usually old ideas with a new spin put on them, however you have to agree not every classic story has been filmed, and there is always a true story to be told.


Again my point being..... there is a wealth of stuff out there that can be put on film rather than resorting to remaking the same stuff that has already hit celluloid previously.

A few things...

1) I love the old film.

2) I think remaking it is silly for a number of reasons...

- Its a cult film. Cult films should never be remade (I dont caare how many people think they are good)

-'The Warriors' is very much a product of its time. To update it and put it in a modern setting would ruin the whole feel of the film.

3) I will peobably go see it anyway :(

4) They will probably cast Justin Timberlake and Bow Wow. :(

5) They will use a modern sounndtrack that will destroy the tension build up that the old score did so well. Plus it will date this one badly.

6) No one will be able to pull of the line 'Warriors... Come out to playyyy' right. :(

7) No one will say 'Jive Sucka' or 'Can you dig?!':(

Exactly. I've always said that the 70s was teh best decade in films because they were original and ballsy. Clockwork Orange. Taxi Driver. The Warriors.

And those movies from the 70s had an impact on the films today. Why ruin history?

Let's not forgot what it looked like the last time a great action director took on a nostalgic futuristic remake...John McTiernan (Predator/DieHard) with Rollerball. If that wasn't the worst movie I've even seen then it's dang near the bottom!

I agree. I wanted to PUNCH Tony Scott after I saw "Domino". The story for that film wasn't THAT bad, but all the annoying editing crap and the style that he brought to that movie made it damn near unwatchable. As it stands, that's on my list as the WORST movie of 2005 that I saw. :down

As for "The Warriors" being remade, Hollywood sucks and needs to get some new ideas.

Point out to me one Tony Scott film that was "dumbed down" and "catered to a younger audience."

"Domino" was specifically shot and cut to be "hip and stylish", and the script wasn't nearly as smart as some of his previous efforts like "True Romance" or "Enemy Of The State". And, it was marketed hard to the MTV crowd to boot. A lot of folks would say similar things about some of his other films like "Days Of Thunder" and "The Last Boyscout".

I SERIOUSLY doubt that a remake will capture what made the original so great and fun. The original was made to have a comic book feel and I have a feeling that for the remake it would just be gangsta style. But I will reserve a little space for the trailer to win me over. Like jaguarr said it will mostly likely be catered to the MTV crowd which pretty much spells disaster IMO.

this isn't about how good tony scott is as a director, really as much as it is

about how the movie will be completely stripped of the things that made it

likeable. again yes it may be a great movie, but it won't be the warriors.

and well i guess for anyone who isn't that familiar with the original it won't

make a difference either way. we will have a new generation of fans who will

have grown up only knowing this new version (that is if this movie turns out

Movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre '03, Wolf Creek, and The Devil's Rejects captured a 70's atmosphere perfectly (well, maybe not perfectly in all 3 cases, but quite well). There's no reason that a Warriors remake couldn't.

It can still be set in the 70's and have a 70's feel to it if it's remade today.

I don't know if they are or not, I was just referring to the "there's no way they can capture that 70's feel in a modern movie" comments.

It can be done and has been done numerous times, whether this particular remake will attempt to do it or not I don't know.

Go watch the movie before you dump all over it. It's my favorite movie, and there are many, many people who share the same sentiment.

Actually, I'm from the 70's. I do like remakes, when they are justified, but why do it to a movie like The Warriors and take away all the things that made it appealing in the first place.

You haven't seen the original and say you don't want to, but I bet that if they included someone that's currently "hip and cool" in the remake like let's say... Jesica Alba, you would be there on opening day.

I mean how many times are you gonna use that excuse? That's the second time i've heard that today already.

The Warriors plot/summary:

Cyrus, leader of the Gramercy Riffs, declares a truce and calls a summit with the intention of uniting all of the New York City area gangs against the dwindling power of the NYPD. However, during his speech he is assassinated by Luther, leader of the Rogues. Luther subsequently frames the Warriors, getting the Warriors leader Cleon murdered by a few Riffs members (however, the film only shows Cleon being brutally attacked due to a fault in the script) and forces the rest of the gang to flee the conclave, which has since dissolved into chaos. The Warriors make their way at night through sparsely populated subways, streets and alleys in the city while running from and battling hostile gangs and the police. Along the way they lose members, split up, and gain/kidnap a (sometimes hostile) female companion named Mercy who becomes involved with the second-in-command, Swan, all while trying to get home. The film ends after a final showdown with the Rogues at the protagonists' home turf of Coney Island. At the end, Swan throws a knife into the wrist of the Rogues' leader, disarming him. The Riffs have massed on the beach, and, having already learned the truth from an unnamed gang member, swarm (and presumably kill) the Rogues as the Warriors head off down the shore.

Are you familiar with the story of Xenophon's Anabasis? It's basically a modern version of that, told in a fantastical comic book world of flamboyantly colored gangs in New York City.

It's a greatly loved movie. A real classic action movie from the 70s. It's got a 92% at rotten tomatoes too.

The Warriors = One of the greatest movies ever.

I'm usually pretty calmed and let people think whatever they want, but to say this movie is just about a bunch of guys running around having "cheesy" fights is probably one of the most retarded things ever said in the history of mankind.

The Warriors is a classic that should be left alone.
Yet another remake because Hollywood ran out of ideas.
Times have definitely changed, so this movie will definitely be kiddied down. This remake crap sucks.

:whatever:
