It wasn't so much that Mr. Goldman couldn't get it right the first time. According to press accounts, the filming back in '86 was a real cluster-you-know-what. As reported in Variety, Robert Altman was to direct, but Dick Richards got the nod; Richards left after he, allegedly, was punched in the face by Reynolds on the set, and then there was a succession of three other directors. Law suits followed. For detailed "reporting" on the incident, see National Inquirer (honest) for April 8, 1986.

Brian DePalma is the living master of the suspense movies, second only to Alfred Hitchcock.

While I'm all for Jason Statham,William Goldman,and Brian Depalma working together,why the heck to they all want to work on a remake of a mediocre Burt Reynolds actioneer that badly flopped the first time around ?

Statham just gets it.
All the other 'tough guys' either end up wanting to be taken seriously or else do a silly comedy that plays on their image

Statham is underrated in my opinion. He's never going to be mistaken for a great thespian but he's always a bit better than he should be in roles that mainly involve looking mean while firing a gun. He's probably the only modern action star that makes me want to see his movies just because he's in them.
