Why didn't they just cast Vin Diesel and call it 'A Man Apart 2'?

It's a different spin: different actors, different characters, different director, different setting.
I'm in. Looks much better than A Man Apart. In terms of visuals, it looks to be already a fascinating film.

Too bad the trailer seems to give away the first half of the movie.
Overall, looks okay. Nothing great.

I think this trailer was cut by the same guy who did "Double Jeopardy". Looks very cool anyways. Just wish that they didn't give away so much.
Tony Scott is possibly the last, solid, American action director around. He seems to be the only one that still keeps movies fresh without modernizing them too much. And I really appreciate filmmakers who go to great lengths to film physical effects, instead of bastardizing everything with CG. A lot of these newbies are just too lazy when it come to stuff like that.
What happend to the good guys? Richard Donner and John McTiernan anyone? While I'm sure Joel Silver is still making big bucks, I don't think I've enjoyed any of his movies lately.

I thought Tony Scott was British?

yet another remake.
The original came out in 1987 for christ sakes.
I did like it (mostly because I like scott glenn)
But, I don't have much hope here.

For Tarantino.. I love Kill Bill. Saw it six times so far. But it doesn't really remind me of a traditional American action film.

Basically, an unhappy bodyguard with a troubled past befriends a little girl he's protecting. She gets kidnapped, and he seeks out revenge against those responsible.
Been there, done that.
Wake me up when Hollywood creates something original.

More likely situation...
Tony scott catches the man on fire 1987 film, notices how stylized it is, and immediately believes he can improve on that.
