oh i don't doubt it dude. i'm sure it could be a great and special movie and it might even carry as much meaning for the new generation of youngsters as it did for me when i was young. what i meant was that for me personally, i don't want to see hollywood bastardize a concept, theme, set of characters and take something away from the original i've loved for so long. for me, warriors is one of those films that can't be separated from the era it was in. if they try to recreate it, it'll cheapen it. if they call it warriors and do something else with it, it won't be warriors. i'd rather they just call it something else and do whatever they want with it.
and the guys from "never back down" would be a terrible idea (just my opinion). "the warriors" epitomises a time when gangs were badass, men were men, and youth had the potential to be dangerous coz they believed in something more than themselves. everything from the music (early rap) to the fashion was chock-full of rebellion, individuality and the power and potential that youth had. and it saddens me when i look around today. sometimes i feel like the only things today's youth believes in is hair gel, showing off their six packs, GQ and looking pretty (males as well as females). all the passion for greater things is gone, and it shows in a lot of popular culture. i fear a modern day warriors would have no edge.
but then again, i could be talking crap and it might be a decent flick. but if freddie-prince-junior is in, somebody had better fetch my rage-ohol medicine.
