Long Good Friday gets US remake

[Carmine Falcone]

Yes, the best (British) movie ever gets a remake. I knew that this was gonna happen, just like they butchered Get Carter. I'm utterly digusted by this news.

Yes, but with a director of that calibre it could really be something......



Terrible idea. Why doesn't McG remake the Godfather while we're at it.?

 

[Lighthouse]

Huh...what the......how the hell did this happen??? First he was doing Castlevania, which sucked but then he moved on to Death Race and that made me happy since that movie sucked anyway. If he just sticks to remaking sucky movies then it'll keep him off the good ones, but this.....ARGHHH!!! Somebody has to stop him!!!!!

Holy ****. A crap hack director remaking a brilliant movie.

I still think Infernal Affairs is better than the Departed, but that remake was good in itself and had its own charm which kinda seperated it from the original. It brought its own qualities and differences to the table, in a good way.

This one? Oh boy...

 

[Lighthouse]

Wait, wait!!! I've figured it out!!! This isn't really happening, its just a big typo misunderstanding. Its actually PT Anderson whos gonna direct it! Yes......please.......*sobs in corner*

EDIT: Funny opening paragraph from CHUD about this news.

Next time you see Paul W.S. Anderson walking down the street, buy him a soda and then rape him with a scythe.

Hey Carmine, are you as mad as I am about this? Perhaps you're more angrier than I am. Because this news is giving me a heart attack.

I felt Carmine's avatar was oddly appropriate for how I felt when I heard this news.

Yeah. My heart nearly dropped when I read it.
