Mar 14 2006Dirty Dozen Remake Coming
Warner Bros. announced they will be making a contemporary version of the 1967 action flick The Dirty Dozen. Con-Air writer Scott Rosenberg will team with Alias writer/producers Andre Nemec and Josh Applebaum to pen the script. Producer Susan Downey told Variety:
Scott had been hesitant in the past to do a remake of a known title, but they all felt that a modern version could make for a high-testosterone, fun, big movie. We're giving this version a personal stake. The mission isn't about finding gold or weapons or blowing up a castle. There is a personal element to it.
I'm normally pretty hesitant about updated remakes of classic films, but for this one I'll reserve my judgement. At least until they announce if Martin Lawrence will be playing all of the roles with different makeup, because I bet the "Big Mama" style character would be hilarious.
