Paramount Players is mounting a remake to the 1982 film, 48 Hrs, with Good Time sibling filmmaking team Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie along with The Carmichael Show creator and star Jerrod Carmichael and Ronald Bronstein, both on board to co-write the screenplay with Josh.

“It’s not a remake” I wonder what the story is going to be for this one. would be cool to see Nolte and Murphy under Safdie direction
Joshua Safdie: What’s interesting is that Walter Hill, who I met for the first time recently, I heard he was a Good Time fan. And he really responded heavily to Uncut Gems, which was amazing because The Driver is one of the greatest movies. But I said to him, “Let’s get this off the bat right away, so it’s not awkward, we’re not remaking your movie.” And he’s like, “I figured. I watched these two movies. I like these guys. There’s never a shortage of original ideas.” And I said, “Yeah, the thing is that we tried to write it and we just couldn’t do it. There was a general structure of your 48 Hours, but it just was its own thing. It was so original in its idea, we couldn’t do what it was doing. We know there are people who could just rewrite that movie, but we couldn’t do it.” So, I don’t know what it’s going to be. It’ll most likely get turned into something original for me.

yeah read this yesterday. didn't know what it meant exactly. feel like they just gonna end up doing something else

So a three-quel?

They don’t have the bag
They don’t have the bag
I'm sure they weren't the ones who had the bag for Sandler + after the dust settles from Gems I'm sure they'll have a much bigger rolodex
How I miss this
Bruh Safdie bro’s and Carmichael....wow
Get Jerrod and Brad Pitt as the leads tbh. Maybe not a remake or a sequel just a similar story in the universe.

Eddie picky AF
Nolte and Him doing a gritty sequel to 48 hrs would be a tough sale for him
