TV remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Bridgerton's Regé-Jean Page will reportedly star in a television reboot of the classic western Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

According to The Mirror the actor, 34, will play outlaw Butch, made famous by Paul Newman in the 1969 film, with the action being transported to an 'alternative America'.

The Amazon series entitled simply Butch and Sundance will be helmed by Marvel directors the Russo brothers with hopes of spin-offs and a larger franchise to follow.

Regé-Jean is joined by Top Gun's Glen Powell, 33, who is said to be stepping into Robert Redford's boots as The Sundance Kid, with both actors serving as executive producers.

Based on a true story, the original film, which has been ranked the 73rd greatest movie of all time by the American Film institute, follows the story of Wild West outlaws Robert LeRoy Parker, known as Butch Cassidy, and his partner Harry Longabaugh, the 'Sundance Kid'.

Comment:
The original Butch Cassidy movie is a classic must see movie.
It was both Paul Newman's and Robert Redford's most popular movie.
It had action, humor and music.
If you have never seen it, you should.
There was a TV series that was loosely based on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but it was not a big success.
This TV remake also looks like it will be a stinker, especially with the ethnically cleansing of the Butch Cassidy character.
Why do it?
Jes Christ, i came to this thread to make the joke "did they turn the cast black?" and apparently thats literally what they did. SMH.
 
I live in a neighborhood in Pembroke Pines Florida where the average home is valued at over half a million dollars. I don't worry about much, let alone drive bys. 😄
Half a million dollars! What kind of slum is that? $500,000, might be a 700 Sq ft two bedroom one bath second floor condo in a really bad area.
 
Showing your true commie colors, eh? Go woke, go broke. You'll be the first one whining how 'racists' made this abomination fail.
I mentioned capitalism and you derp about commies... 😆 Does a Short Bus riding mother fucker like you understand the difference?
 
I know who's being sold to and it isn't you cuck whites. 😄
Many of the movies and TV shows with Black leads have not done very well lately. Go woke and go broke. Disney had a couple of flops.

I doubt this series will complete a season.
 
And you'll be whining about 'waycism' when that reality comes crashing home.
No, I won't because I don't care about the box office success or failure of Disney movies. 😆 It's simply a fact that your predictions represent your little cuck fantasies. That's is literally what they are. 😆
