John Travolta Wants To Do A Butch & Sundance Remake With Tom Cruise

Filed under: Film Flickers > John Travolta > Tom Cruise

jttc.jpg

No! No! No!

This would be TERRIBLE!

Apparently John Travolta is up for starring in a remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid alongside Scientology buddy Tom Cruise!

Travolta says:

"Someone came up with a good idea - it was a remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid - and there was a rumor that we were gonna do that, and I said to Tom, 'It's not a terrible rumor, it's not a bad idea.'"

But it IS a bad idea! A shiteous one! To see those two in Paul Newman's and Robert Redford's legendary roles would be a real travesty.

Paul is probably rolling over in his grave!

    Noooo!!!
    Robert Redford and Paul Newman were hot!! John Travolta arent hot since Grease and Tom Cruise since MI:II



  2. 2

    The ONLY duo that may be able to pull that one off are George Clooney and Brad Pitt. But I would leave this classic untouched!



  3. 3

    No way for those two. I would say Brad Pitt as Redford and Matthew McConahy as Newman.



  4. 4

    Lol really?!?!? Really!?!? *ouch*



  5. 5

    Ugh. I can't imagine a worse idea. The only one that comes close is giving Conan O'Brien his own talk show.



  6. 6

    Enough with the remakes!! Travolta and Cruise are jokes. Newman and Redford are classics!!



  7. 7

    They need to do a remake of Dumb and Dumber, only call it Weird and Weirder.



  8. 8

    No way!! Brad Pitt and Leonardo Decaprio would be awesome!!!

    This is all because the wacco Predatory Evil $pace Alien Mind Control CULT of $cilonCONtology is under such immense negative pressure.
    .
    So…they want their former 'super(stoopid)star' clients to recapture some of their past box office glory.
    .
    This is all a PR stunt for their CULT.
    .
    The CULT has been so exposed due to the uber availablity of information on the internet.
    .
    In response, the CULT is hoping to continue to blind it's still slavishly mind controlled subjects and the uneducated public with Hollywood pizzaz.
    .
    Shoulda tried this 10 years ago.
    .
    BTW, the guilt of not giving a now dead child proper medical attention because of adherence to pathetic CULT dogma cannot be covered up with the busied schedule of a new big Big BIG project.
    .
    At some point, "The Piper must be paid.".
    .
    Jett is still dead, John. You listened to your CULT.

    Strange, but I never envisioned "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" as having the whacked-out gay, religious zealot TommyGirl playing one of the two leading roles. He'd be better suited to star in a remake of "Jonestown" (Jim Jones)…a religious cult in Guyana that went too far with the Kool Aid.



  12. 12

    What would they call that…Butch & Butch?



  13. 13

    In my opinion cassidy should be played by daniel craig, sundance, I don't know?.. maybe benicio del toro.



  14. 14

    nooo the original was way too good. a new one will pale in comparison.



  15. 15

    That would be tragic…Only 2 people on earth have enough chemistry to do that: Pitt and Clooney



  16. 16

    I would like to see that Tom & John!



  17. 17

    No No No Indeed!!!!



  18. 18

    john travolta and tom cruise in a movie together? there's nothing butch about that…



  19. 19

    These two would be better suited for Brokeback Mountain Two.



  20. 20

    BARF BARF BARF
    Can't Hollywood do something original?
    Don't TOUCH the original you weird scientiology fucks.



  21. 21

    EWWW. That would be the ultimate FAIL… It would almost be fun to see the train wrek. They both are just plain gross!!



  22. 22

    No! Don't mess with the original .. it's perfect



  23. 23

    GREAT another Hollywood movie I can ignore



  24. 24

    Leave it alone. They cannot compete with Redford and Newman, nor do I think, anyone would want to see them try.

    Try something original, but leave the classics alone.



  25. 25

    omg
    YUCK!



  26. 26

    When will HWood learn not to mess with a classic. It NEVER works.



  27. 27

    Going to see this movie would only line the pockets of Scientology. If you want to financially support a cult, have at it.



  28. 28

    god sorry but delusional is the only word that comes to mind. herpes to the assface that dared to suggest such an insult



  29. 29

    John Travolta & Tom Cruise to star in a remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Who comes up with those stupid ideas! #1 they are too old! #2 John is too big! #3 I believe the roll would need two unknown actors, killer smiles with enough charisma to light up the screen. Why mess with perfection, leave it for someone else’s lifetime.

    AGREED



  31. 31

    They could do Tango and Cash, maybe, but NOT Butch and Sundance. They don't have the chops.



  32. 32

    no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  33. 33

    That would win… the worst remake ever award. They could remake Brokeback Mountain though. Personally, I would never pay to see anything Tom Cruise is in anymore….

    Why people remake classics is beyond me…. no one could ever do that movie better than Redford and Newman.



  34. 34

    NO! NO! NO!



  35. 35

    Two clams in the trash.



  36. 36

    THEY'RE TOO OLD!

  37. @v@ says – reply to this

    Who Knows. They've both shown a knack for comedy. John consistently nailed his timing as Vinnie on Kotter, and Cruise struck me really darkly funny as Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder.



  38. 38

    Maybe John should keep seeing his family therapist "alittle longer"…eh? I don't think he's fully recovered from his son's loss. I mean, WTF?!!!



  39. 39

    NO, NO, NO, NO, NO AND NO!
    PLEASE, DON´T DO IT!

    PAUL NEWMAN IS BUTCH AND ROBERT REDFORD IS SUNDANCE.
    THAT WAS THE MOVIE, one of the best movies ever, LET IT BE!
