Fair enough urqh, but he’d have to be able to bark with a phoney British accent . Perhaps they could get Richard Gere to coach him – or perhaps Dick Van Dogg .

”Arf a mo guv’nor”, and ”allo me ‘ole China” and all the other expressions I grew-up in London hearing and saying .


Martin, I think its pathetic that the film business has sunk to the depths of the music industry where there is such a void of creative talent that an increasing number stoop to recycling other people’s ideas. They don’t even make the effort to plagiarise any more, just a straight up-front rip-off. I accept a re-make IF there is genuinely something to add, or the original was good in concept but poorly made.

One film I enjoy for itself is Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V, but I also still enjoy Olivier’s ’44 version.
