Smokey And The Bandit remake in the works

[Old Moparz]

How about a Bullet remake with Woody Allen in Steve McQueen's part driving a Prius lowrider chasing two bad guys in a Fiero?

Quite a few people never heard of DMCL either !!!!!

don't give them any idea's o.O

On a side note, it looks like John Carpenter is selling out all his classics for re-makes: They Live and Escape From NY remakes are currently in production.

That's not right either. You can't replace Kurt Russel in Escape From NY. I just see the new movie being overly violent compared to the original. And that is never necessary.

Probably right.  The original was visually cool and just has a certain mood to it.



I've heard they're actually making NYC look normal this time.  Apparently it was a cost cutting measure.  And that idea (that doing a bombed-out looking NYC costs too much) seems utterly absurd to me.  Between computer effects and the easily available supply of messed up American cityscapes, I don't get it. 

In 1981 they filmed most of the original movie in northern St. Louis.  I can tell you that area of STL has still got some pretty rough spots.

Well, the 2nd and 3rd movies sucked so why not a 4th. 

LMFAO! No doubt! People forget though that this will not be the first attempt to bring it back. There was also a piss poor 90's attempt to revisit the Bandit with Hal Needham called "Bandit: Bandit Bandit". Bo Duke played Sheriff Buford Enright, whom was hot on the trail of Bandit.

The original is a classic and my favorite movie of all time. When I restored my '77 SE I must have watched it 50 times to get details right.

69 4speed Does yours have T-Tops ?

Or making a continuation of it,meaning the "soul" of the car gets brought back into another make/model cause that could be understandable to not use a 58 Fury and use something else

damn. i knew recycling was a bad idea.

[HOTROD]

Sounds like a bunch of BS BS if you can`t make a Movie the right way (remakes) I hope they loose money!!
any way I whould make a better Burt Reynolds in anny remake !!

The articles in question were written 1.5 and 2 years ago. Gauging by the time from production to release of other movies of this genre such as Fast and Furious, to would make sense that we would see something other than a few 2 year old articles by now. Also imdb and wikipedia do not have Smokey and the Bandit under Jack Black's filmography. My guess is the movie fell through a while ago.

I prefer this option. What's wrong with a little grey hair?
