Remake???

keep dreaming,they will never make another racing movie to top le mans and grand prix.the money that would spent to make such a movie ,would be the most in movie history.titanic is the most exspensive movie ever made,a movie of this kind would be 4=5 times the amount of titanic.another reason is team secrets ,every team is very strong minded when it comes to keeping there cars and progress a secret.it is 100's of millions of dollars that are being thrown around here ,just an example micheal shumacher makes 80 million a year from ferrari plus whatever he makes in endorsements .there's no other sports figure thats makes this much in one year except boxers.with drivers making this kind of money and teams spending this kind of money ,they will never allow such a movie to be made. with there secrecy it will never be done because the dollar value would be way to much!!!!

Gee Professor, is Matt Damon your bum chum?

To everyone/anyone; What is it with people wanting to "remake" some films? On another site a proposal to remake 'Grand Prix' is bandied out. The few motor racing flicks of note CAN NOT, REPEAT, CAN NOT be improved. Both ideas are TOO LUDICROUS to answer seriously.

Do you, Professor, even realize McQueen was first of all, a speed demon, hugely adept on a motorcycle & to a lesser extent talented in 4 wheels? Acting was a secondary commitment/hobby. A bill payer. A convenient earner to play with fast toys.

And then you utter Matt Damon?

Someone tell the Professor he's dreamin'...

OH MY GOD!!!!! Who the *#^&% would want this classic redone, especially with some idiot like Matt Damon?!? You could never do it, financially, or logistically, no one would insure it, and after Stallone's moronic race movie (I will NOT utter or print the name of that piece of fantabulously idiotic crapola), no racing team would cooperate anyway.

Remakes are the province of directors who have no originality, writers who have no creativity, and studios that have no balls.

If today's audiences can't grasp the movie, too damn bad for them. They can go watch Fast & Furious or some other tripe. Leave the good stuff to those who can appreciate it. Re-vision, indeed.

MATT DAMON!!!!

See Team America World Police.

MATT DAMON??!?!?! Are you having a laugh?! That would be as bad as the remake of the Italian Job!!

Remake of Le Mans?

First of all, racing today cant be compared to racing in the 60's and 70's.
Racing back then was fast, the cars didnt have all the fancy equipment they have today, it was dangerous, it took alot of skill.
Le Mans portray all of that in a good way and it feels very real, alot of the footage is from the actual race.
The end was a bit of a boner but all in all its a very good movie.

LMAO, make a post like this and you get your ass kicked for two years!

I simply ignore most remakes. Occasionally they work, but the problem here is the very thing that makes Le Mans interesting wouldn't be recreated in a modern film. The nice thing with Le Mans is that it presents the material in a straightforward, no-B.S. manner. You almost feel like you're watching a documentary more than fiction.

Films just aren't made that way anymore. If Le Mans were redone, there would be multiple story contrivances caked on, with a blaring soundtrack, and the action would be so in-your-face you'd never feel any sense of reality. It would be like watching Days of Thunder.
