Boycott the Italian Job.

[TheStinger]

Frankly I don't care if its any good.

There was just no need to remake this film.

Everyone in the UK should boycott it(as should evryone in the world but thats a bit unlikely)

Why does Hollywood do this?

(well I know its money but it really is annoying)

Oh and Mark Walberg taking on a Michael Caine character, thats like saying Monaco could run Iraq)

Have you seen the trailers?

It's basically a totally different movie to the original. The only similarity appears to be the escape-in-the-minis-through-a-traffic-jam scene. When I saw the trailer at the cinema last week it wasn't until that point that I realised it even was The Italian Job.

Its a good job its not a true story, if it was they would have reamde the same film only with americans doing the heist.

Have you heard there is to be a battle of britain film with Tom cruise (playing an american) as the star.

Thank God for the US we would have lost that battle without them.

Haa Haa! Actually I was thinking of going to see this movie, just because it has Charlize in it. I haven't been on a movie theater hm... I can't even remember the last movie I saw in a theater. Must be more than two years.

The original "The Italian Job" is a real classic, I really enjoyed that movie.

There seems to be a trend of movies being "remade": Ocean's Eleven, The Bourne Identity, and Gone in 60 Seconds to name a few.

[FrustratedPoet]

I didn't know Gone in 60 Seconds was a remake.

[DaShi]

Yeah, the original was called, "Dude, where's my car?"

[chequita guevara]

The Bourne Identity is not a remake. The book was written in the 1980s.

Yeah, the original was called, "Dude, where's my car?"

Re the Italian Job remake, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Not a classic by any means.

[GePap]

Man, it takes a while for movies to travel. I saw this months ago.

I hope that you're kidding. If this is true than hollywood has truly gone to far this time. It gets sincerely annoying watching them distort history.

For example I was looking forward to the movie Pearl Harbor, but they totally hosed it by making Ben Affleck into some sort of romatacized super soldier. I found it disgusting.

[C0ckney]

yeah gegap we seem to get them last, my mate was in thailand a few months back, he's seen all the films that are only just coming out over here!

and i won't be watching the new 'italian job'...

It's not exactly a movie remake, the "original" was a mini-series from 1988 starring Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith.

[Sirotnikov]

I never saw the original, but from what I understand, this is a completely new movie, only similar in name.


I saw the new version two weeks ago, and I must say it was a very fun and energetic movie. It's also quite humorous. Obviously it isn't a classic, but as far as fun movies go - this is it.

Well there's the story... sounds like it may have some truth behind it... but why the hell do they have to belittle british achievements all the time?

Edit: The Polish deserve 100x times more credit in the battle of britain than the americans do.
