Will Smith may have killed the big screen western when he made the god awful WILD, WILD WEST back in 1999, but he is going to give the genre one more try, albeit a modernized one, if plans work out for him to star in a remake of Sam Peckinpah's seminal THE WILD BUNCH. According to The Wrap, Smith will produce the update of THE WILD BUNCH alongside Jerry Weintraub, who produced THE KARATE KID remake starring Jaden Smith. While the original movie took place in 1913 and followed an older group of outlaws planning a heist on the Texas-Mexico border, sources say the new take will be:

so he doesn't do django because it's too risky for his rep but he's remaking THE WILD BUNCH?

oh, i read

A modern remake involving cartels south of the border, the "Wild Bunch" reboot is expected to follow a disgraced D.E.A. agent who assembles a team to go after a Mexican drug lord and his fortune.


so it's nothing like the wild bunch, got it

the way of the gun is still the modern, de facto remake still

I cannot wait to see this.

Will Smith's role choices and Sam Peckinpah remakes have worked so well recently.

So it has nothing to do with the original Wild Bunch other than taking place in Mexico, but they're gonna throw that name around just to draw attention to another shitty Will Smith project. frick that guy.

I guessed he feels he has to make up for DOING Wild Wild West and PASSING on Django Unchained...

ETA: Never mind. Just another updated movie.

You don't understand what anyone in this thread is talking about and just wanted to jump in w/ some celebrity jock-riding to laugh at the "haters," correct?

I'd rather be pissed at how Tyler Perry is screwin everyone and getting fat off the asses in America than Will Smith. At least Smith's movies entertain. So call it what you want.
