Never Mind the Whole 'Taxi Driver' Remake Thing
That Lars von Trier and Martin Scorsese doing a Taxi Driver remake rumor from yesterday that sounded like bullshit? Turns out that's bullshit.
ScreenDaily spoke to von Trier’s business partner Peter Aalbaek Jensen, who said the story was "not true" and "rubbish." However, Jensen kept conspicuously silent on the issue of whether or not von Trier's musical Dancer in the Dark would be remade with a Hollywood budget and Miley Cyrus in the lead, so I'm going to say that's probably happening.
