Gabriel Byrne and Brian Dennehy have joined the cast of Assault on Precinct 13, Focus Features' remake of the 1976 John Carpenter film, says The Hollywood Reporter. Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne topline the project, which is being directed by Jean-Francois Richet.

The new version, written by James DeMonaco, is set in the present day in a police precinct building that is about to be shut down. On New Year's Eve, a mobster (Fishburne) is temporarily incarcerated at Precinct 13, the soon-to-close police station. As a rogue gang tries to free him, a cop (Hawke) must command a crew of policemen and prisoners to defend the station.

The film, which starts production on April 4 in Toronto, also stars Maria Bello, John Leguizamo, and Drea de Matteo.

her boobs aren't that great--she has them pushup bras to thank.  I saw her in person.

I think after this, we can close this thread.  Because this is the absolute pinnacle of shite.  Words cannot express the horror that this film should evoke in anyone who holds cinema in any kind of high regard.  This is the sort of evil that has to be experienced personally in order to truly understand its magnitude.

This is, undoubtedly, going to be the worst movie... ever.

If you don't look at them too long, yeah.  Once you start to look closely, it's like looking at Tom Cruise's mask in Vanilla Sky.  

Where's Rick Baker when you need him?

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Paramount Will Catch Another Thief
Source: Variety

Paramount has set up a modern remake of Alfred Hitchcock's romantic thriller To Catch a Thief with Original Film partner Neal Moritz (2 Fast 2 Furious, S.W.A.T.) producing and Todd Komarnicki writing, reports Variety.

The new version, set in Miami, will leave the basic storyline from Hitchcock's film intact. A reformed jewel thief scrambles to clear his reputation while being framed for a series of elaborate robberies from the super-rich.

The 1955 release starred Cary Grant as an American expat on the French Riviera who falls for a wealthy American, played by Grace Kelly, as a rash of jewel thefts breaks out.
