Troy director Wolfgang Petersen and Warner Bros. are reloading Bullitt, reports Variety. The studio will remake the 1968 Steve McQueen drama with Petersen directing.
The crime caper, centered on tough-guy detective Frank Bullitt, will be contemporized by Cynthia Mort. The original drama was based on the Robert L. Pike novel "Mute Witness," but the remake isn't. Petersen sparked more to the character than to the original storyline.
"Bullitt" is not about "remaking a film or repeating a plot, it is about reviving a great character," Petersen told the trade. "Frank Bullitt is a cool, no-nonsense man who doesn't compromise. Bullitt walks his own path and his pursuit of the truth is unrelenting."
Have they no shame?

This would only work if they magaged to resurect steve mcqueen because he is Billit. Which reminds me, does anyone remember the ford advert where they had him driving the car?
They will ruin it and thats all that can be said.
> the car chase in the original was perhaps the best ever made, IMO.
"Ronin" a close second. To be honest, "Bullit" as a whole I found quite tedious................
> Have they no shame?
Nope.
the car chase in the original was perhaps the best ever made, IMO.
