Tony Scott to direct 'The Warriors' for Paramount

By Stone Martindale Jan 11, 2007, 20:07 GMT

The Baseball Furies, the Turnbulls and the Rogues will live again as Director Tony Scott "comes out to play-yay" with "The Warriors" Production Weekly lists "The Warriors" in active development, with producers Van Toffler, David Gale, Michael Cole and Skip Chaisson of MTV Films and Scott Free Productions (Tony and Ridley's production house) for the remake of the 1979 Walter Hill directed classic, "The Warriors."No casting word yet, but "Deja Vu" director Tony Scott is confirmed as director. John Glenn, J.H. Wyman and Travis Wright will take a swipe at the script, based on the 1965 Sol Yurick's novel based loosely on the work "Anabasis," by Xenophon."The Warriors" is a tale of a motley Coney Island gang who converges with New York's toughest street gangs in a mass rally, and subsequently is wrongly accused of assassinating the leader of the Riffs gang. Action ensues as they battle their way back home through the mean streets of New York.Monsters called the MTV production offices at Paramount, and they said the project "was a few months away" from pre-production.

What's up with all these remakes? Why can't they leave the classic alone? :-(

seriously-The Warriors' original was GREAT!! It has held up beautifully too-Remar was brilliant as Ajax, and the late Gail Thigpen was the 'mouth' that spoke to the gangs on the radio-awesome...
Tony Scott will defintely overdo the digital intermediate process and colorize everything way too much...He loves the whip pan..
