Are you sure that's not just some AI fake bs?

A legendary film that they should leave well alone.

Edit - Thankfully a quick google suggests this is bullst.

Looks a believable as Trump's score card from his last golf competition.

I do hope it is BS!! and, if it is, profusely apologise for not properly checking. In my defence I'd just been reading about the Naked Gun remake and it seemed plausible

I think this is just that little bit too old for a remake considering it is from 1977. I grew up watching these sort of films as a young child, but I am guessing most people who remember this have to be in their late 50s at least now.

I don't think this age group go to the cinema, and youngsters are not going to know what it is or be interested.

I used to watch Smokey and the Bandit all the time when I was a kid with my Dad. One of the few things we actually bonded over.

I have re-watched it many times since and still love it. Very nostalgic.

A remake would be totally unnecessary and most likely rubbish.


This is clearly an AI generated fake though lol.

They could have at least been a bit more convincing with the cast choices.

Burt Reynolds. Dripping with charisma, really funny and talented actor.
Vin Diesel. Erm...

Nothing on IMDB.

No official online information.

This is either an early 'tester' campaign to gauge reaction or just Ai / click-bate rubbish.
