Ocean's 11 Remake!
They are already remaking OCEANS 11... again! First time was with Sinatra and the Rat Pack, then Clooney and his pals, now they're aiming at a younger audience...
I'm a big horror fan and rarely bemoan the deluge of remakes that pockmark that genre - but today on Fangoria.com came news of Rod Lurie's remake of Straw Dogs casting a 20-something lead as a screenwriter traveling to his girlfriend's Southern stomping grounds where... blah-blah-blah.
more disturbing is the remake of The Mechanic with Jason Statham -- disturbing because I knew this would be redone eventually, and distrurbing that I never got to do it ha
