Is there scope (or demand) for a reboot?
I say there is. But then it is a germ of an idea. Of course we will never get as close to the 1969 classic screen presence that showed Robert Redford and Paul Newman as the lovable outlaws.
But with the likes of Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez or possibly even Clint Eastwood himself in the directors chair, we can get a sense of high noon tension with relentless sun glare, vultures, Winchesters and stolen gold bullion.
Throw Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon into the mix and we have dynamite box office attractions - as well as credible and talented actors. They played believable gun slingers in previous incarnations. And considering their pairing off in The Departed we know these boys bode well.
If another western is not your thing just remember without one half of the original silver screen duo we would never have seen the Sundance Film festival become a testing ground for new movies and studios to demonstrate their wares..And why couldn't Redford cameo too? He's still worth his salt lick.
Any thoughts..?
