Seriously? They're remaking it AGAIN? They JUST remade it with Russell Crowe a few years ago. Can't they wait a decade anymore? Reminds me of their crappy Spider-Man remake with Andrew Garfield.
Was that Crowe one any good? All I know about it was that they totally changed the initial idea which, was actually original with the Sheriff of N as the main character.
I’d be down with a version that was historical plausible. There was some old one that actually portrayed the antagonists as French speakers. A native Englishmen recovering tax money from Pepe LePew would have modern significance.
