Is being remade now how are they hoping to come close to the original with a cast list like this some things imho should be left alone and these ealing classics should be top of the list - it is like playing with fire.

Blimey! I'd forgotten that Audrey Hepburn appeared in the original version.

I read today that the F**king yanks are remaking the TV Series "The Prisioner".

You just know the remake is going to be a pile of shit.

Why do they bother ?

I gave the Ladykillers remake a second chance because I still couldn't believe the Coens could make two bad films in a row.

... and it's okay. Not a patch on the original but certainly not terrible. Suffers from some bad casting and a script that isn't funny or dark enough.
