Apparently writer/director Géla Babluani is pulling a George Sluizer and remaking his indie/foreign hit 13 Tzameti for US audiences. According to Wikipedia the remake is to have a different plot and be in color. I have not seen the original.

I have to say though, that cast (Rourke, Statham, Liotta, Winstone and Gazzara!) is pretty awesome. Minus Fitty Cent.

I'd love it if they still used the concept of the original trailer though.

Different plot?! 13 Tzameti is a very simple (yet very good) movie (reminds me of They Shoot Horses, Don't They?), in this case the plot IS the movie so if it were to have a different plot then it would have nothing at all to do with the original. :crazy:

I'm assuming it's the same basic premise (i.e. the middle of the film) but with a different distribution/reworking of the other plot threads. I can't say I mind either because while I did enjoy the original film the plot surrounding the gunplay itself was relatively superfluous (not in the sense that there didn't need to be a plot, there did, but that what plot there was wasn't all that compelling). Not really seeing the connection to They Shoot Horses, Don't They either except as another semi-life threatening game played for money.

Michael Shannon already makes this.
