Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio in a remake?


No, they're not as good of a pair as Redford and Newman were, but they'd still be a pretty handsome pair and they would be able to pull off the roles. Despite the fact that Brad Pitt has blond hair, I'm still picturing him as the role of Butch and Leo as the role of Sundance. I don't know the details about the actual people though. Maybe Sundance got his nickname because of his blond hair. I suppose a remake could be an insult to the original movie and the epic pairing of Redford and Newman, but I would still prefer to see that than a lot of the films Hollywood is coming out with these days. It would be a good movie that would sell well without a heavy use of CGI effects.

Jeezus, another remake moron. WTF is wrong with these people? The original should NEVER be remade, it holds up as well today as it did in 1969. Pitt and DiCaprio? Both are great at what they do but leave the classics alone.

The rest of it, I waste.

Why? By the time the PC crowd are finished with it Etta will be running the gang acting as a Robin Hood to the peasants of Bolivia feeding them with the bank money they steal. Unlike the original that just hinted at it they will probably also have her straight up involved with Butch and Sundance as well, both of them catering to her every whim.

No. Please no.



Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it.

How about having a white guy paired with a black guy

That would be the new TV series.

From an artistic standpoint, that would be absolutely pointless. It would, however, make money.
