Let's hope it's as good as the original !

Let's hope that not too many get trashed. Hollywood goes through stunt cars by the truckload.

Any news on release dates?

Eric · Sep 26th, 2002, 07:33 AM

No, didn't read that.
Probably next year.

It can't be anything like the original - not even close - it makes me cringe with embarassment as a MINI owner that they are even trying... my Mini friends will never let me hear the end of it... The bodykits/spots/stripes really don't help... the proper italian job film's Minis had nothing they didn't need.

Naff.

That image reeks of pshop!

I agree that the chances of the new Italian Job being good is slim. Very slim. Sorry hollywood. Will I see it? Of course.

I can see the film of Beckerman being replaced with a mission impossible mini cd. There will be more explosions. The mofia villan will be overdone and overly evil. Breaking into the traffic computer will become overly complex. Charlies fooling around won't be just suggested to the audience. Any class will be abandoned for ratings. The chase could be great! But will there be rooftop scenes?

I am still looking forward to it and hope to be surprised. Given my low expectations, it might not be hard to put a smile on my face

!

BTW, lightbody, I believe the original Italian job had the red, white, and blue minis decked out with strips and three driving lights.

That red one is an S (silver grille!!) and I believe it's the only one they ordered.
Strange that they are throwing it about like that. I figured it was to have a different role.
They ordered 30 of the others so I guess they intend on topping the original film stunt wise.
All the cars are Italian spec models by the way.
Compared to the originals, those driving lights look pants.

I wish them the best of luck .

But I still feel that its one of those films that should have been left alone.
There can only ever be one Italian Job.

Hang on lads I've got an idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alexcroft · Sep 27th, 2002, 06:47 AM

Who's in it?

Are the Cooper S's?

When is it out?

The lead role first played by Cockney actor Michael Caine,
now 69, will be taken by 31-year-old Mark Wahlberg.

And I'll be driving the blue MINI.

this is what kills the project (incase it wasn't properly dead already) right there, how can you replace caine with marky? another prediction; it won't end in a (literal) cliffhanger, hollywood has to spell everything out.
