The Remaking of Pelham 123



We did a little moaning hereabouts at this time last year over the remaking of one of our favorite NYC films, "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three."

Anyway, the posters are up and the trailers are out for the Denzel-Travolta remake coming June 12. We don't feel much better about this.



And the original trailer from 1974...

can anything good come from John Travolta?

and kudos to Denzel. From the evil cop in Training Day to an apparent dweeb in this, while Travolta does the plastic villian...

Yeah, Travolta's act has been tired for years... His villain always seem the same.
