Angel Heart remake Oct. 1, 2008
Source: Variety
by: James Thoo


Producer Michael De Luca (AMERICAN HISTORY X) has purchased the rights to ANGEL HEART with a view to remaking the 1987 Mickey Rourke classic. Yeah, I added the 'classic'. What of it? The film follows the exploits of Harry Angel, a New York detective hired by a mysterious client to track down a once-popular performer indebted to him. While pursuing this seemingly routine investigation, Harry encounters dark and supernatural forces.

Of course this is happening. It's a good movie and it's twenty years old. Why wouldn't Hollywood remake it? We'll be seeing a TROPIC THUNDER remake in a couple of years. At least Mickey Rourke is making a comeback of sorts with THE WRESTLER. Maybe they'll get him back to play the lead again, that would be cool. Well that was a fun little walk in the world of fantasy but let's face it this time next week I'll be reporting Brett Ratner took the directing job and Chris Tucker is playing Angel.

Extra Tidbit: De Niro doesn't need to come back, thanks.

If I ran Hollywood, I'd outlaw remaking films less than 50 years old.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Angel Heart is a work of art. It's absolutely incredible on every level, and is one of the most satisfyingly dark movies I've ever seen, both in terms of themes and aesthetics. The fact that it's basically a cult favourite as hardly anybody knows about it also makes it feel a little more special.

Fuck this shit off and fuck every two-bit dumbass producer like Michael De Luca. Try investing in some original ideas for a change you fucking tit.

So Mickey Rourke should be back but not Robert de Niro???

What are you talking about?

Anyway if someone must comeback it should be Lisa Bonet, I bet she's still hot and her character should've been older in the original

Hell to the no. The first one is just too good. There's no real reason to remake this. Someone call Rourke and have him kick some ass. But yeah he looked and sounded completely different back then. Still awesome though.
