Hey folks, Harry here... It's a shame when you love a film and you see that film getting remade. It's hard. Because EVERYTHING that I love about the original film isn't in this trailer. Seriously. Here's the new trailer: watch this trailer in HD Quicktime! Or watch here:

The Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3 trailer

Now is any of that cooler than this:

Ok - Now that's only about a 1000 times cooler - and it's just the score for the original over the opening titles on simple black. NOW - look at the original's trailer:

It seems that this new film is essentially an excuse to have Travolta and Washington acting at each other - And the film right now - at least via a trailer - it isn't exuding any kind of trace of "awesome" like the original does in spades in its trailer.

BUT - what if this film is badass? The screenplay for the new one is from one of my favorite screenwriters, Brian Helgeland. And Tony Scott more than has the capacity to make something cool. So far, I'm just not seeing it. What about y'all?
