Sweeney Remake!
 

I just came across a trailer for the New Sweeney film starting Ray Winstone as Regan and singer Plan B as Carter! First impression; "what a load of rubbish!" :D Why are they obsessed with trying to remake classic films and TV and failing! Waste of money! I suppose it's using a formula that works, for a generation that may not be acquainted with the original.

Couldn't care less !

I like Ray Winstone, so I will reserve judgement until I have seen the film.

I also like Winstone so will see when it comes around.

He's OK but it's not a judgement on him - it's why bother calling it Sweeney when the only thing that will make it like the original are the names of the characters!:rolleyes:

The Sweeney was immortalised by John Thaw and Denis Waterman, 4 series and 53 episodes, plus a couple of films which didn't really fly for me, but I'm not a big lover of remakes myself, they might be okay for people who didn't see the original (which is very rare these days with all the satellite channels)offering, although I like Ray Winston, I'll certainly reserve judgement on this one

I saw it on DVD it was OK - a new take on it.

Top gear "advised" the car chase scene in their programme Dec 2012. :)

Correct but it wasn't Clarkson it was the drivers they use - Clarkson and Hammy where on the set though, on the DVD was some extra clips on the subject, showing how the film was made and details like that.
