Tony Scott to Remake ‘The Warriors’

Can’t a good director like Tony Scott get a * new * project to work on? Have all the scriptwriters in Hollywood run out of ideas?

Exclusive: Scott Retools The Warriors
Tony plans bigger, bangier update

:Tony Scott, creator of bespoke celluloid chaos since 1985, has revealed exclusively to Empire that his next project, a remake of Walter Hill¹s The Warriors, will be a very different take on the gritty tale of a gang of teenage hoods battling their way home across enemy turf. For a start he’s moved it 3000 miles West, to L.A.. “Well, New York is visually vertical,” he tells Empire, “and L.A. is more horizontal so that¹ll be a big visual difference”.”

…and setting it in LA? Didn’t they already do that trick with the 2nd “Escape from NY” film!
