The Remake Trend In Hollywood

‘Pelham’ is an entertaining thriller about a band of hijackers, led by Mr. Blue, (sounds familiar?) who take the train hostage. Great casting and rapturous ending… What more do we need to enjoy munching pop-corn, warming the seat in theaters….

Remakes continue to be the hot trend (or should I say- last resort!) in the business as a slew of them are in or going into production.

Tony Scott (Crimson Tide) shot a make on the terrific 1973 thriller “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” which was one of the great NYC based films of all-time. Denzel Washington and John Travolta will take on the Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw parts.

But why bother doing a remake when the original was loved by everyone? Well, when the story is fascinating and the roles are interesting, why wouldn’t it be remade over and over?

In the movie, John Travolta is a villain and Denzel Washington has to take him down. A group of hijackers, led by John Travolta, take a New York City subway train and its passengers, threatening to kill them if their ransom of one million dollars per hostage is not paid in one hour.

All I can say is the movie is going to rock!
