Agreed Harley...it makes sense to do LA and have a Latino effect for modern times ....however, subways and the edge of NYC will be missed....the names of the Gangs may not be the same at all........ the remake will be similar to the original in name only is what I am sensing....
As the DJ said "Stay tuned boppers, stay tuned..."
First saw 'The Warriors' at West Virginia University in 1979. It was shown in a 'special room' in the Student Union. All of the New Jersey guys were excited about it. Just found the DVD and am glad to have it. Can recite almost all of it.
"Henry Rollins, Mark Dacascos, 50 Cent, Queen Latifah (!?), Wilson
Cruz, Bob Sapp and . . . Shaquille O'Neal as Cyrus (!!!). its
supposed to be set in a futuristic los angeles"
IF THIS IS GOING TO BE THE CAST ,I HOPE THEY SCRAP THE WHOLE PLANS OF THE REMAKE..AS FOR SHAQ PLAYING CYRUS WHAT ARE THEY THINKING.I THINK OF ALOT BETTER PEOPLE FOR THAT PART ..Laurence Fishburne FOR ONE...
Well what do you expect from MTV .....I'm just glad Ben stiller and Owen Wilson ain't in it!! but yeah getting rappers and basketball players is indeed a sad idea.
I think Lucas Black, (Friday Night Lights) would make an excellent gang leader, if they could get him to drop some of his southern accent. he has the presence to be menacing/intense, and intelligent at the same time.
