Brett Ratner might try to clone THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with news of yet another remake to hit the screens. It seems Brett Ratner is developing a remake of the '70s Gregory Peck/Laurence Olivier starrer THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL at New Line.

You might remember it as the flick that starred Peck as a Nazi, a famous one at that, Dr. Josef Mengele, and Olivier as a man hunting down war criminals. He stumbles upon this famous man and more than just finding a fugitive, he stumbles upon a bit of nastiness involving the Fuhrer's DNA.

I always preferred THE OMEN to this film, but I do love the idea. Let's hope Ratner gets a strong script and a couple of really great older actors! What do you folks think?
