Question OT: Will the new version of "The Italian Job" be any good?

OK, its got loads of Mini Coopers and Edward Norton starring and it's based on a classic film. However, it's not set in Italy, it doesn't appear to have any Brits and it's supposed to be a "darker take" on the story. Thank Christ it does not have the involvement of Sylvester Stallone (Get carter anyone?). It's a bit like remaking "Bullit" in Frankfurt and turning it into a comedy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

What does everyone else think?

Cheers,

David

If you walk into the theater expecting crap, you may be pleasantly surprised.

I've not seen a re-make that's better than the original, so I don't have much hope. What's really sad is how much Hollywood has run out of ideas for their McMovies, they have to steal from TV or make new versions of the old.

But like Steve said, if you're expecting crap...?

By the way Steve, no kittens ever died during the 5 years of me owning a 944.

Party on...
