If the report from The Daily Mirror is true, this would be one of the most ill conceived remakes of all-time. Allegedly, Tom Cruise and John Travolta are having discussions in between Xenu lectures about co-starring in a remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. In the new version of the Paul Newman Robert Redford classic, Tom would play the Redford role while John Travolta would play the Newman role.
Whatever. I actually half hope this story is true and that Tom really is looking for screenwriters because I have a feeling this would be the biggest flop ever. It would be Ishtar big or Heaven's Gate big. Unfortunately, I don't believe the story because I don't think John and Tom could stand to be in the same room with each other for five minutes, let alone go somewhere in the desert and film a movie together for two months.
Although the movie would probably suck, I would like to see the behind the scenes footage of the filming. That would probably be great.
this can't be true.
ReplyDeleteThe way Gay Cruise's movies are flopping I doubt that Travolta would agree to this.
ReplyDeleteIs that an old picture of Gay Cruise cause he doesn't have a single frown on his forehead.
ReplyDeleteUnless he is into Botox.
I thought John and Tom were friends.
ReplyDeleteDo these two boys hate each other? Interesting...
ReplyDeletei pray it's true. please pleeeease!!! it would be the final nail in the coffin containing cruise's career. same for john revolting. if they both went away, the world would be a better place.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this, April Fools Day?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a parody--like the Brady Bunch movie.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's into plastic surgery. In Brazil.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I can't stand Tom Cruise and Scientology, I would LOVE to see Travolta and Cruise try to do a Brokeback Mountain remake, just for the novelty factor.
ReplyDeleteWELL THAT WOULD FINISH THE COMEBACK....YES..YES...YES
ReplyDeleteGoodgrief & Little Miss, I think Enty implied before that they had a fallout over a power struggle in the church.
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooo!
ReplyDeletei also believed they were friend!
ReplyDeleteand Nooooooooooooooo! not another stupid remake as the idea of Mickael Bay to remake "the birds"!
Enty, you slay me.....brokeback island perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThe thought of this makes me gag.
ReplyDeleteOh please dear god no. What is up with people in Hollywood remaking movies instead of writing something new? What happened to creativity? What happened to innovation? Why is Hollywood obsessed with remaking old classics?! Why can't they leave well enough alone?! Please tell me that they are not actually considering remaking Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - do they REALLY think that Cruise and Travolta can do it better than Newman and Redford?!
ReplyDelete*Sigh. What the heck is the movie biz coming to?
It's one thing to remake Butch & Sundance.
ReplyDeleteIt's another thing to REWRITE Butch & Sundance. This is a Bill Goldman script that is used to teach others how to write screenplays. Used for teaching, for pete's sake!!!! AND YOU WANT TO BRING SOMEONE NEW IN TO REWRITE IT!!!!!
/shoots self in head
they can't stand to be in the same rm? but i thought all xenu's children loved each other!
ReplyDeletei think they don't hang out because of the gayness. xenu cures the gay, but doesn't like to test it out.
ReplyDeletei believe they are "cordial", but not friends. that came out (ha! good one) after jett's death.
Oh that is just WRONG on so many levels. I'm suprised TommyBoy didn't pick the Fresh Prince to play Redford. The remake of this is as bad as Hollywood wanting to remake Casablanca. Hollywood needs to stop doing remakes and pick new material.
ReplyDeleteExcellent point, A Pimp Named DaveR.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bionic Bunny, I got the idea that Cruise was annoyed by Johnny's transgressions (gay sluttishness wherever he goes). John is not very 'cured,' and I think Cruise is such a control freak that he would hate John's behavior.
I'm going to say it: Travolta looks like a 'power bottom.'
Cruise would go more for guys like himself. That's what my gaydar tells me. No evidence.
Would anyone really pay to see a fatass with a bad wig ride a horse? Good lord! I would feel sorry for it. Travolta's really deluded if he thinks he could come CLOSE to Newman's presence and charisma.
bionic bunny! said:"...xenu cures the gay, but doesn't like to test it out."
ReplyDeleteDead on!
Also made me giggle fiendishly.
Is Tommy more cured than Johnny? I've heard a lot of rumors about John but not so much about Tom. MOO is that John pays more for silence.
