Warriors for a Remake

By James Wray Aug 23, 2004, 11:35 GMT

Walter Hill directed the original
Terence Winter has beed hired by Paramount and MTV Films to write director Tony Scott's remake of "The Warriors". The movie is an updated version of Paramount's 1979 action film, directed by Walter Hill.

The new version is to have a more realistic feel compared to the original, which was set in New York City. As in the original, the plot will center on the Warriors gang being wrongly accused of assassinating a rival gang leader during a truce and being forced to make their way home through hostile territory.

Lets hope they keep some of those classic fight scenes!

You can read more on the original in our database. Both are based on the novel by Sol Yurick, details of the book here.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. This movie is perfect the way it is and has no need for a remake. Come up with your own premise instead of taking all these old ideas.

I bet if they bring another film based on the 1979 version you'll all like and stop critisizing the remake....so what im tryin to say is shut up and when it comes out,go and watch it and see how it is !

I want MTV and Paramount to stop this remake because this cult classic will probably be more hip-hop oriented and no original names(Ajax,Swan,etc.)will be used nor orginal gang names either.Paramount, Stop This Movie!!!!

The only thing I care about is that they dont make it like the gangs of to day. Hopefully they put some good fist to fist fighting in it.

I really hope that the show more graphic fight scenes in the remake! I loved the first one and bought the dvd, but I always wished to see a bit more fighting... for example, when they threw a fire bomb at the car to run away from the orphans? I wouldn't mind seeing a fight scene where they're getting their butts kicked and by some miracle, they manage to get away... like if cops showed up or another gang came in blasting and shot the wrong gang because their colors were similar to the warriors ... monstermsc@yahoo.com
