Walter Hill is certainly the spiritual descendant of Aldrich, so I can't think of anyone more suited to the task."

what are you talking about? if anything Walter Hill is the spirtual descendent of Sam Peckinpah..Walter Hill once said EVERY film he makes is a western to some degree…(although I don't know Brewster's Millions fits in with that mantra…)

They basically offer anyone they work with a chance to pitch a remake of something from their catalog.

Seriously, none of them make any money. I don't get it. Someone please explain it to me.

Won't be near as good as the one with Crawford and Davis they are legends!

In color! So there is even less reason to do this. And Walter Hill? Really? I can't think of a director less likely to know what to do with this story, except maybe Michael Bay.
