WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 I think Burt should be the warden. Regardless, I will not be seen within ten feet of a theater this is playing in. I don't see it being any good at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Adam Sandler and Chris Rock? The hell? So they are going to make it a comedy? Oh this has bad idea written all over it but most remakes are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 So Adam Sandler or Chris Rock will play Crew? Someone needs to tell the producers that Burt Reynolds played college football at Florida St. I don't think Jim Caviziel would be a bad choice, if they made a remake similar to the originial. He's got a basketball background, but has an athletic look. Sandler could be Caretaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 According to IMDB Sandler is playing Crewe, Rock is playing Caretaker, and Snoop Dogg will have a role as well. Ugh. They're going to turn this into a total comedy. I just know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Somehow I don't think Caretaker will have the same fate in this version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
