[pdv6]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[alunr]

Starring Ed Norton (Fight Club), 'Marky' Mark Walhberg (Boogie Nights) and Charlize Theron (Reindeer Games), with no sign of Michael Caine, the movie uses the new model of Mini and relocates the job to California.

New Mini's and California? Bloody Hollywood...

[Bonce]

So it's not really ITALIAN then is it!?

Bloody Yanks.

[dontlift]

Just say NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fer]

Could have been worse, there were rumo(u)rs that it was going to be made with the new Beetle... a sort of "Herbie goes to Turin".

The Yanks have hi-jacked yet another story.

Wasn't it the same with U-571 the Enigma story and countless others.

Shower of a******s

[jamesc]

Not BRITISH either!

Seem to remember a thread on here a while back saying a couple of Tuscan's had gone out to feature in the film.

I think we should re-make the american classic Easy Rider

Only we could put Hugh Grant and Rowan Akinson up for the lead roles and have them purchase fine Triumph motocycles from the black market sale of their viagra tablets.

Cut to scene of Triumphs riding gloriously over the fells and dales trying to find the "British Dream", leaking oil everywhere as all British bikes did.

I read in an issue of Empire Magazine that one of the actors wants to quit the film, but is being held to his contract so he can't leave.

If you win the phone in do you get all three mini's? I'd have four then Like all film remakes IMHO the originals are usually the best (eg planet of the apes, the Time machine etc)

Considering how good the original Italian Job was and still is I think the new one will fail big time.

Also how are they going to get the fat new minis down the drains. The new minis are a cracking car but they are big ..... ooo I like them big..... well professor take a look at my car ....

Yes it was Edward Norton

[robp]

Call me sceptical but I dont any re-make will touch the true classic that was the original.

Can you imagine the new mini going across the waterfall like in the original movie - it will probably conk out and have to wait for a friendly BMW mechanic to come to the rescue.

Do you think one of them is going to have an accident in a tunnel?
