Script Report: THE WARRIORS Remake
August 23rd, 2004
Variety reprots that Paramount and MTV Films have hired Terence Winter, nominated four times for an Emmy for his work on "The Sopranos", to write helmer Tony Scott's remake of THE WARRIORS. The film is an updated version of Paramount's 1979 action film, directed by Walter Hill. The trade says the project is envisioned as having a heightened reality compared to the original, which was set in New York City. As in the original, the plot will center on the Warriors gang being wrongly accused of assassinating a rival gang leader during a truce and being forced to make their way home through hostile territory. Writers John Glenn and Travis Wright first worked on the remake, followed by Joel Wyman.
