"Gunsmoke" remake

Don't they know you cannot remake classics and get a good film. Remakes have about as much impact as eating a stew after a good chili!!

Risky Biz Blog is reporting that CBS Films is developing a feature reboot of "Gunsmoke" and has hired National Treasure: Book of Secrets writer Gregory Poirier to pen the screenplay.

Craig Baumgarten (Shattered Glass, Never Back Down) will produce the new take.

The action-adventure will re-imagine Marshal Matt Dillon, the hero of the classic Western, for modern audiences. The story will be set in the same American West as the original but will feature a contemporary look and modern action twists.

Poirier is said to be close to completing a first draft of the script.

In other words, some stupid hollywood "brain" in this case: "Brainless" is out to ruin a classic. Grrrrrr
