"Paramount and MTV Films have hired Terence Winter, Emmy-nominated four times for The Sopranos scripts, to pen helmer Tony Scott's remake of The Warriors, reports Variety. The film is an updated version of Paramount's 1979 action film, directed by Walter Hill.
The trade says the project is envisioned as having a heightened reality compared to the original, which was set in New York City. As in the original, the plot will center on the Warriors gang being wrongly accused of assassinating a rival gang leader during a truce and being forced to make their way home through hostile territory.
Writers John Glenn and Travis Wright were first aboard to pen the "Warriors" update, followed by Joel Wyman."
Hmm, I'll have to wait and see, but one of my favourite directors remaking one of my favourite films, with a competant writer on board, makes me feel all special inside.
It'll either be unintentionally hilarious, or gritty and real. Either way is good for me.

Yup; I love the original, but I only stopped laughing at the sheer homo-eroticism of it on the 2nd viewing. You know; after I'd onanised myself.

Yeah, if you want. It's at the bottom of my big pile of DVDs, you can borrow it if you want. We'll continue this conversation later, away from prying eyes.
All I see is Zed from Police Academy. Sorry.
Haven't seen The Warriors for aaaaaaaaages. Snugs?

Sounds brilliant to me. The Warriors is excellent, but has dated embarassingly badly. Still, it'll be cool to see mimes on rollerskates brandishing baseball bats on the cinema screen, presuming that's the approach Scott's going to take.
