Oh fuck no.

Goddamnit, you know they'll screw it up. There are certain movies that should never be remade because they got it right the first time.

son of a bitch.

there's no possible way they could do it right. the only guy who could play the part is fucking dead.

i hate hollywood. why can't they come up with something new instead of regurgitating everything?

No kidding.

A few years ago, back when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were the 'Couple of the Moment', there was a rumor going around that they were going to star in a remake of Casablanca. Thankfully, that went nowhere. (Mostly, I think, because Lopez' movie career kinda tanked after Gigli.)

So you've heard that they're redoing EFNY, with the lead of 300 playing Snake?

There is only one real Snake Pliskin.

While I don't doubt the ability of Gerard Butler to pull off "badass", I just can't see him being Snake Plisskin. It always seemed to me that the role requires being able to pull off being a badass, but also portraying the image of someone who fully knows he's playing into every stereotype of being a badass.
