Lars von Trier and Martin Scorsese to Remake 'Taxi Driver'

makingofmovies:

Rumors of remakes and reboots are all over the place right now, but this one has to be the most min-blowing/exciting that’s surfaced maybe ever.

/Film is reporting that Danish film director Lars von Trier is teaming up with Martin Scorsese to remake the new-holloywood classic Taxi Driver. If that’s not enough, Robert de Niro will again star.

Brendon Connelly writes:

“The von Trier project would be likely to go in a completely different direction, however, and play more like a deconstruction of Scorsese’s original than a new drama we could expect to reveal itself fully without reference to the original.”

The only way to top this is, of course, would be to release it 3D.

Thoughts?
