ComingSoon (http://www.comingsoon.net) recently chatted with director Tony Scott, who talked about "The Warriors" redo that he's currently overseeing.

"Retooling is a good word, it's not a remake," he told the site.  "I'm shooting in present day L.A. The original, they don't stand up very well. They're great cult movies, but that was the '70s, and I'm doing it around the gang culture in L.A., which is a very fast disappearing culture. They're homogenizing all the looks from the MS-13s to the 18th Streets, the Crips, the Bloods, and I met with all the gang members, and they all said, 'If you get this movie on'--because 'The Warriors' is their favorite movie--'We'll all stand on the Vincent Thomas Bridge, 100,000 gang members for the beginning of the movie and we'll sign a treaty and we'll be there.' But if I'm not making it, you have to think, 'How hard can it be?' Because in its simplest form, it's about ten little Indians getting from Point B to Point A through the course of the night, and I can't get the script right. I've been struggling to get the script. I've been wanting to make this movie for ten years now, and now I've got all these gang members. It's not just hip to touch those worlds, it educates me and the public, and they're so colorful and fantastic."
