Remo Williams: The Adventure Reboots!


The nostalgia kick just won't stop, will it? Pretty soon Remote Control will be back on TV and MTV will start showing music videos again. Nah, never happen. The 80's were really the decade of the big, brawny action hero. One of the most memorable(atleast for me) of this bunch was Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins starring grizzled veteran actor Fred Ward. The film was a strange mix of gritty cop/martial arts/fantasy that was...well, weird even for it's time. But I dug it, and apparently somebody else did as well.

Two of the producers behind The Dark Knight and The Transporter, Charles Roven and Steve Chasman, are aiming to bring the hero back to the big screen in "The Destroyer". The pair are hoping the relaunch will be the start of a franchise vehicle under the Columbia Pictures banner. No word on who will star or a release date at this point.
