Tony Scott Prepared to Join 'Wild Bunch'

Oh individuals Scott boys. It had been just Thursday mid-day that Moviefone reported that Ridley Scott was speaking to Warner Bros. about creating another 'Blade Runner' -- a study verified with a pr release from Alcon Entertainment, with a financing cope with the studio (The filmmakers haven't yet revealed if the project is a prequel or follow up towards the original). Now comes word that brother Tony Scott is within early foretells direct a reboot of Mike Peckinpah's 1969 classic Western 'The Wild Bunch.' The film -- that was occur Texas and Mexico in 1913 -- was questionable because of its extreme, slow-motion violence and amoral attitude because it adopted four grizzled outlaws -- realizing that they are dinosaurs inside a dying Old West -- wishing to create one further score. William Holden, Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, Ben Manley and Warren Oates starred. Because of its time, it had been the bloodiest film to ever hit the giant screen (Should you haven't see 'The Wild Bunch,' you have to go out at this time and rent or buy it). Before he jumps on 'The Wild Bunch,' Scott will require about the 'Hells Angels,' a thriller concerning the competition between your Angels and the other motorcycle gang, The Mongols. That will not start until the coming year, however, and only when Scott will get his selection of stars to experience the Angels' well known leader Sonny Barger -- and Scott wants Shaun Bridges. Incidentally, talking about redos: Scott continues to be thinking of getting sequels to his 'Top Gun' and 'The Hunger,' in addition to a redo of '20,000 Leagues Underneath the Ocean.' And Screen Gems is on the point of to produce redo of some other of Peckinpah's questionable films, 'Straw Dogs,' on Sept. 16. Tip o' the hat to Variety, Deadline.
