Re: The Mechanic - starring Jason Statham
this is a remake of something?? damn everything is either based on a book or remade for the second or third time these days. oh well, looks like it could be good, i'm assuming ben parker uses jason statham as a tool to get trained as an assassin and then turns on him?One must be fearless and tenacious when pursuing their dreams.

Could be interesting. Ben Foster is quite an interesting actor. He doesn't come across as a tough guy per se, but boy he has a crazy/psycho persona thing going on. Remember Alpha Dog, Hostage, 3:10 to Yuma?
Alternatively he can play pussies too...

Re: The Mechanic - starring Jason Statham
I thought the remake script brought out some cool cat-and-mouse elements the original failed to exploit.
The question gravitas brought up is not really an issue in the remake. In addition to the internal guilt/respect issues, Bishop teaches the son with an objective in mind.

Re: The Mechanic - starring Jason Statham
I read the script for this before I watched the trailer. Looks like they changed some (minor?) stuff from what I read. Still looks promising.
The script was pretty good. I read PANDORA by the same writer. Guy looks to have talent. Although this probably doesn't have the stunning opening scene/ kill from the original. I must've been twelve when I first saw that. An ingenuity to rival anything they ever came up with in the James Bond movies. Blew me away...just like the victim in the movie!
Definitely will be checking this out when it surfaces here in Holland.

Re: The Mechanic - starring Jason Statham
Agree that the opening kill in the original is amazing. Tough to compete with that.
I disagree with Gravitas that this doesn't bring anything fresh, though. It does for me.
The underlying concept begs for a cool cat-and-mouse game. As much as I like the original, it just doesn't really tackle that element very well. It left me wanting a lot more in that regard.
The script I read for the re-make goes there. I was very happy to see that.
