  • "Westworld" & "Yakuza" Remakes Setup
    By Garth FranklinFriday August 12th 2005 6:21pm
    Shelved when Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor of California, Warner Bros.-based producer Jerry Weintraub's remake of "Westworld" is now a go again reports Variety. "The Cell" director Tarsem Singh is set to helm, Schwarzenegger's reps insist he's not involved with the project at this point. There is no screenplay or writer yet attached.

    Meanwhile, Director Billy Gerber ("The Dukes of Hazzard") is remaking the 1975 film "The Yakuza" for Warner Bros. Pictures says The Hollywood Reporter. It will be written by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell. "Yakuza" was directed and produced by Sydney Pollack and starred Robert Mitchum as a man who returns to Japan after a lengthy absence to rescue a friend's kidnapped daughter, ensuing in samurai swords slashing and guns blazing. It was written by Paul Schrader and Robert Towne.

    Thanks to 'Mark'.
