Leo vs Tobey In A 'Third Man' Remake
Latino Review —
According to a rumor over at CHUD, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire might be headlining a remake of the classic The Third Man. I shall now pause for your "ANOTHER EFFIN' REMAKE??" rants. CHUD goes on to say that the new script is being written by Steven Knight (Eastern Promises), but no director is in place. Everyone's money seems to be going towards Dicaprio starring as Harry Lime (the Orson Welles role), and Spidey as Holly Martins (the Joseph Cotten role). But you know what? I don't like either of those guys for either role, frankly. They are too young, and while Leo has a bit of an edge to his face now, Tobey looks exactly the same. Not ...

... on Leo stepping into Welles' shoes and with Maguire playing Holly. The next big question is what's the setting? Would it be set in modern day Baghdad? Or would Knight find another setting in which to set up Harry Lime's racket (do it scifi!)? And then there's another big question - do you keep Harry Lime's famous ferris wheel monologue, one of the greatest in cinema history?
