Tony Scott sat down with RT recently to discuss The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, released in the US on June 12th and the UK on July 24th, but of course we couldn't leave him without taking about another remake on his agenda; The Warriors. Based on a novel by Sol Yurick, the 1979 original was written and directed by Walter Hill.

Most of the cast members that made up the titular street gang in the 1979 cult classic The Warriors reunited on the Q Train on September 13th to take one last ride together to Coney Island, where hundreds waited at a fan-organized event celebrating the Walter Hill-directed film. "These subways are different than they were in 1978," actor Michael Beck, who played the head-Warrior-in-charge Swan in the film, told Rolling Stone on the voyage to the Boardwalk.

David Harris (Cochise), Dorsey Wright (Cleon), Terry Michos (Vermin) and Thomas G. Waites (Fox) were also on hand for the celebration, with the original cast greeted at Coney Island by scores of film fans and similarly vested "gangs" who were drawn together by the movie. "Basically, this is a social club for Coney Island," one attendee said. "We started it for the youth though, because of all the gang violence that was happening in our town and what not. We tried to get all the youth to join us instead of joining real gangs."

Motorcycle clubs have also found inspiration in the movie that stresses brotherhood over any odds; remarkably, even the Warriors actors themselves have remained close 37 years later.

In addition to appearances by the cast (who had come out to pla-yyyy-ayy), the event featured small children dressed up like Baseball Furies, dozens of biceps inked with Warriors tattoos, a guy who touted himself as "the Pope of Greenwich Village, the Pride of the West Side" and attendees from as far away as Scotland.

"I just love being here with all the fans. I see kids coming here, eight years old, and I go 'How do you even know about this movie,'" Beck told Rolling Stone. "I found out something today. One of the stunt guys who played one of the Furies, he came up to me and told me, 'Thirty-seven years ago, you broke three of my ribs with a baseball bat.' I told him I was sorry. I didn't mean to." Michos added, "It's a phenomenon I didn't expect, but I'm very happy."

So what is the status of the Neveldine/Taylor partnership? Is it a temporary break while you guys do solo stuff or are you permanently going your separate ways?

We’re definitely gonna do solo films. But we have an approved treatment for Crank 3 and we’re super-excited about it. I know we’ve talked about it in the past, but we had lunch with Jason [Statham], we had lunch with Lakeshore. Everybody wants to do it, it’s just now about all the stars aligning.

Brian and I have a couple things that we’d really like to do as a team, and there are projects that really make sense that way. But also everybody thinks we’re just one person. We’re actually two guys with families and kids now, and we have things that we want to do solo and we’re very supportive of each other doing that. But we want to do Crank 3 and I’ve said before that The Warriors would be a remake that Brian and I would love to tackle, it’s just in rights hell at the moment.

This is the Walter Hill Warriors?

Yes.

That’s something you’d want to remake?

We have never been interested in remakes, and probably still aren’t. But that’s the one that we’ve always felt would just be awesome. We just feel like we’re the perfect guys for that job; baseball bats, roller-skates, gangs, the heightened world. We know there’s been fear at some studios like “We make this movie today and gangs are gonna go wild!” And it’s like “Whatever.” You do it in Crank style, people are just gonna laugh and have fun.

People were worried a Warriors remake could lead to a rise of gang violence?

Yes.

[Laughs] So if you did remake The Warriors, what would be the Neveldine/Taylor twist to it all?

Well we would set it, obviously, five minutes in the future, and we’d really love to build these flamboyant gangs and have fun with them, and have a heightened sense of action and bring all the things that we’ve learned and stolen from Rodriguez and Tarantino and other great directors and put it on the screen. [laughs]

That sounds pretty intriguing actually. I’m also intrigued to hear you talk about you and Brian as a partnership that’s viewed by a lot of people as one director when you’re actually two guys with different interests. How would you say you’re different from Brian in terms of your tastes or style?

It’s funny because when we’re doing our films together we’re both directors who are directors of photography, who are camera operators, who have gaffed at some point in our lives. We’re also writers and we also edit. So we’ve done all that stuff and when we’re together we just merge; our anxieties and effed-up minds are very similar in a way. We’re different only in that there’s some things that as far as the style of films that maybe we want to do. Brian would be interested — maybe not in a totally CG film, but he’s not afraid of CG. He’s not afraid of that sort of world, and maybe I am. It’s who we are as people. But it’s such a hard to question to answer. It really is. At the end of the day, we want to do our own stuff, but we also want to make some rad movies together.

EXCLUSIVE: The Russo Brothers are taking a breather from the Marvel world to adapt cult classic film The Warriors as a one-hour drama with Paramount TV and Hulu.

Their take will honor the original film while adding its own unique brand of grit, pulp, sex and violence. The Russo brothers will team with writer Frank Baldwin on the series. There is no director attached yet.
