The modern remake of OUTLAND, the sci-fi remake of High Noon, is on the docket...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I know, hahaha, lolz... a remake of a remake. It's not the first time. Recently we saw a pretty damn good remake of John Carpenter's ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, which he's gone on record as saying is essentially his re-imagining of RIO BRAVO. I'm not super connected to OUTLAND, to be honest. I haven't watched the movie since I was a kid and I remember very little of it. It's about time for a revisit. So, I have no idea what to think about SHOOT 'EM UP's Michael Davis attempting a redo of the sci-fi remake of High Noon other than there's a mighty big kilt to fill. I have to imagine they've talked about Clive Owen stepping in for the Sean Connery role, which wouldn't be bad. There's just not too many actors that mix the charm and toughness that Connery has. If they reaaaaaallllyyy wanted to impress me, they'd just pull Connery out of retirement and make this his sci-fi Gran Torino. Now let's take bets on how long until we see news of a remake of BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, the sci-fi remake of the western remake of SEVEN SAMURAI. That'd be fourth generation! -Quint quint@aintitcool.com Follow Me On Twitter
