"The remake of The Italian Job is likely to culminate in a car chase around Los Angeles"

This whole thing is so wrong

Will that be a bit like a car chase on the M6 then?

Its a Beetle chase around LA apparently.

I'm in favour of using the military to stop the filming.

It's sacrilidge to copy the original! What a typical shitty American thing to do. They have to copy everything. Most of our war films end up involving american soldiers, even if they were'nt in the actual battle. Call me old fashioned.

Let 'em 'remake' it, let 'em screw it up.. then we can point and laugh at the stupidity...

If Hollywood was cast into the sea, the USA's world popularity would double overnight...

Are they actually using new beetles then? Can't believe BMW let that one slip through, would have been brilliant publicity for the new MINI.

IIRC they tried this before - a very crap film starring David Hasslehoff which was basically an americanised Italian Job, didn't work then, probably won't work now. WTF happened to hollywood making original action movies???

you mean the worlds supply of dangerously malnourished, collapsing, psychologically obliterated women who'd snap in half if you ever got to slip them a length?

I fail to see the problem

Ah, but what they really need to do it add a character called 'Arthur' with his trusty side kick 'Hobson'.
Arthur can do the whole thing pi**ed whilst being ticked off by Hobson. If anyone has seen 'Arthur' and 'Italian Job', the combination of the two would be hilarious.

No, you're thinking of the Eskimos living near the pole.
