Just more proof that Hollywood has run out of original ideas. That movie is a classic and a remake will suck.
LEAVE THE THREE STOOGES ALONE!!!!!
Tom Cruise is looking to team up with John Travolta to remake the classic 1960’s western Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Tom would play the part of Sundance, originally Robert Redford’s part, and John Travolta would take up Paul Newman’s role as Butch. The movie has been one of Tom’s favorites since he was a little boy and this would be a “labor of love” for him.
The surrogate father of Scientology plans to produce the remake through his United Artists Studio and is currently in talks with scriptwriters, a new report claims.
A source tells The Daily Mirror: “Butch and Sundance is a labor of love for Tom. He was eight years old when he saw the original and it made an impression that has stayed with him all his life. He can’t wait to get to work.”
Tom hopes to revive the role of Sundance–played by Robert Redford in the original film–while 55-year-old John is expected to play Cassidy.
The 46-year-old star even got the blessing of Paul Newman - who originally played the role of Cassidy in the film about a pair of lovable bank robbers–before he died of lung cancer last September, tattles tell the tab.
“It has been a pet project of his that has been on the back-burner for years. But now he’s ready to go, and will most likely happily eschew the enormous salary that he normally commands.”

No, Tom Cruise. Just no.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I don’t pay it respect by trying to film a remake; I have a poster of it on my wall and I own the DVD.
If this report is true, you can bet there are going to be some interesting stories from on set. With the two stars being devout Scientologists, you just know there are going to be some strange demands and goings-on. They’ll set up a makeshift church in the studio lot, or require everyone on set to get an E-meter reading.
Tom needs to rethink his career, and the first step would probably be to stop fancying himself as an action star, and find some roles where he plays the bad guy. He did it in Collateral with Jamie Foxx, and was pretty believable. What do you guys think - should Tom take more villain roles?

bad ideas.
as for three stooges......Sean Penn?? are you kidding me? yeah, he looks like Larry but cmon, he's about as funny as a rectal exam.
I can't wait for the trailer to come out. Being in a theater full of people hurling obscenities and heartfelt boos when this piece of Fail comes on during the previews will be so awesome.
Terrible idea! At least with those 2 actors...
never seen the original...so don't matter to me. I don't plan on watching the original either.
"Yo Sundance, up your nose with a rubber hose!"
This makes my head hurt.
Butch Hubbard and the Scientology Kid.
No thanks.
ing fail
absolutely disgusting
Tom's quickly becoming a joke...a well paid joke.
I think what's sadder is that stupid remake of The Karate Kid with Will Smith's son.
Never before have so many rooted so hard for the Bolivian army.
You're still pissed at that huh?I think what's sadder is that stupid remake of The Karate Kid with Will Smith's son.
You're still pissed at that huh?Really, I can't stomach it! Now you just don't remake Butch Cassidy, I agree, but come on, Karate Kid isn't even old enough for anyone to even forget who is The Karate Kid for there to be a remake. Let alone for it to be played by Will's son!
The modernized remake will replace the Bolivian Army with Xenu's Galactic Fleet of ships that look like DC-8s.
Really Tom Cruise. You're really this tone deaf? Really?
Everybody thinks you're a crazy Scientologist nutjob so to remake the ultimate buddy movie you want to team up with...
The crazy scientologist nutjob from Battlefield Earth?
That's going to help rehab your image?
Really?
Butch and Sundance: The Xenu Years.
Seriously, Tom...it wasn't enough for you to up the Mission Impossible franchise by turning it's leading hero into a traitor? Aren't there some couches somewhere that need jumping on, or some depressed women for you to berate?
Yea, well there remaking Robocop too, which is even newer, so I guess we all have to get over the fact that Hollywood is out of ideas.
And as far as remaking Butch Cassidy, I mean isn't it enough that they already made one terrible prequel already? Why does Hollywood have to ruin everything that's already great?
Jeff oli disagrees.
and isn't John Travolta all fat now?
2009 agrees.
Urban Cowboy disagrees.and isn't John Travolta all fat now?
T Volt just needs to read the 'lose 15 pounds' thread.
