'13 Tzameti' Remake Casts Rourke and Statham!

One remake I'm anticipating more than anything else is 13, a remake to the French thriller 13 TZAMETI. Some news came in this evening confirming the project is finally getting off the ground as Paramount Vantage - who is taking a huge stab at genre pics in the next few years - will handle international sales on writer-director Gela Babluani's English-language remake of his own film, which was the winner of the 2006 Sundance Grand Jury Prize (big stuff!). The release reported that Sam Riley, 50 Cent, Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham will all be starring in the story of a man who steals a mysterious package and gets sucked into an underground gambling ring (Russian roulette anyone?). It starts shooting in November in New York City.

50 Cent!? wtf? The original was so good. Once you see that name in the cast for the remake, the entire project goes to shit. You know, they had the right idea: same writer, same director... then they do this. 50 better die in the first round. That's all I have to say.

the original is so good. and i like Statham and Rourke. but 50 Cent? i agree, he needs to die in the first round. hopefully he has a small role thats just meant to draw some people in.

I just hope with Statham it doesnt become an action movie. I think he's a great actor and can play the action roles perfectly, but he needs to stay within the confines of the original.

What a horrible fucking idea! That movie is perfect the way it is and should remain unscathed by these wannabee actors

so Sam Riley is no doubt #13, I'm guessing Statham is #6 and Rourke is one of the gamblers, but who the hell would 50 Cent even play? I'm guessing theyll change it up a bit to add someone like him in. Then again, there's very minimal dialogue between the contestants, so maybe he won't really act much. The original is so dramatic that I think it could work with the actors theyve chosen so far.

Its bad enough that we have to listen to these fake gangstas bragging about how much money they have every time we turn on the radio but now it seems every movie made is sure to have a rapper in it.Dont these pricks make enough money with their (c)rap music that they have to ruin movies too.If a movie has a pop star of any kind in it im not interested.Even pairing DeNiro and Pachino couldn't lure me into seeing a movie with that big idiot in it.Go back to pushing crack and give us all a break.
