Put Chris Pratt in his role. Fuck everything, let the world burn

Yes. Do it while Clint is still alive. I want him to watch.

Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone's Greatest Spaghetti Western Is Getting a Remakewww.cbr.com One of the most celebrated spaghetti Western movies of all time is getting a remake.

Let Taika Waititi remake Casablanca. Turn Yellowstone Park into a Bitcoin farm. Sell your mother to the Disney gladiator pits

A remake doesn't HAVE to be bad. There was a Japanese remake of UNFORGIVEN set in the northern islands during the Meiji era and starring Ken Watanabe in the Clint Eastwood role and it was really fhtagn good. www.imdb.com/title/tt2347...

Unforgiven (2013) ⭐ 7.0 | Action, Crime, Dramawww.imdb.com 2h 15m | R

Oh, I know, a great many remakes are my favorite movies. Sorcerer, The Thing, even (as the article points out) A Fistful of Dollars. But it's 2024 and I don't personally need an Eastwood western with greenscreens and computer guns

That is definitely on my summer watch list. As is the Japanese version of Sideways. www.imdb.com/title/tt1236...

Sideways (2009) ⭐ 5.6 | Comedy, Dramawww.imdb.com 2h 4m | Not Rated

Cast Idris Elba as lead. The ~discourse~ on an English Black man being cast would be wild

I can't wait for the reductive, anti-intellectual hot takes about westerns, as if it never changed from Stagecoach, and doesn't have a ton of cultural context THAT ISN'T NECESSARILY FROM AMERICA! Aaugh! (Also it's going to suck)

A shame Westerns have never been self-reflective in any way throughout their entire history (quietly pushes UNFORGIVEN behind the waste bin with one foot)

Even John Ford in his later movies was trying to grapple with the racist tropes he helped popularize. Like, it's a complicated genre as it's so reflective of its time.

They broke my hands but they didn't break my dancing legs!

Let's go all the way and get Zack Snyder up in this shit.

The movie has the exact same script but is now 4.25 hours long because of the slow-mo

Jack Black awaits the call.

I'll be honest, I can see Pratt pull that off. But why oh why can no one produce anything original anymore.
