August 18, 2011: Tony Scott Takes on The Wild Bunch
Filmmaker Tony Scott is in talks with Warner Bros. to direct a remake of The Wild Bunch. The director is also in discussions to make Hell’s Angels for 20th Century Fox, which will likely be his next project.
We reported back in January that The Wild Bunch is one of several Warner Bros. titles the studio is keen on remaking, although we haven’t heard anything else about the project until now. Brian Helgeland will write the screenplay for this remake, which is still in early development.
As for Hell’s Angels, Tony Scott wants Jeff Bridges to star in the biker drama, which is centered on the 2001 Laughlin riots, where the motorcycle gang became embroiled in a war with rival bikers The Mongols. Jeff Bridges will play Hell’s Angels leader Sonny Barger, but since he already has a busy movie slate, if he agress to take on the part, Hell’s Angels won’t go before cameras until next spring, at the earliest. Hell’s Angels also focuses on Sonny Barger’s friendship with a young mechanic.
The Wild Bunch was released June 18th, 1969 and stars William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O’Brien, Warren Oates, Jaime Sánchez, Ben Johnson, Emilio Fernández. The film is directed by Sam Peckinpah.
Hell’s Angels comes to theaters in 2013. The film is directed by Tony Scott.

Scott’s next assignment will be Hell’s Angels, though its timing will depend on whether he gets the actor he wants to play gang leader Sonny Barger. I’m told that he wants Jeff Bridges. They’ve not met face to face yet, because Bridges is right now touring his self-titled musical album that he recorded after he won the Oscar playing Bad Blake in Crazy Heart. Once Bridges gets back to film work, he’s booked to star with Ryan Reynolds in Universal’s R.I.P.D. and Warner Bros/Legendary Pictures’ The Seventh Son. If Scott has his heart set on Bridges and the actor says yes, Hell’s Angels won’t get underway until next spring or later. Fox 2000′s Hell’s Angels is set around the Laughlin riots of 2001 when the Angels were caught up in a war with rival gang The Mongols. The drama revolves around a friendship that develops between Barger and a young drifter mechanic with a gift for fixing motorcycles. The script is in by Scott Frank, who did numerous rewrites of an earlier draft by Stephen Gaghan.
