They're remaking Papillon with Charlie Hunnam

Why? Go see the original.

The new version is "Bad-Ass"

There's nothing bad ass about Charlie Hunnam.

This falls under the category of 'why' movies.

Papillon is one of my all time favorite movies, and a pretty perfect one. Seems pointless. Why?

Just no.

Anything showcasing Charlie Hunnam's fine face and bod is A-OK with me. As long as there's a nude scene (but he's cool with those, so the chances are good).

I'm all for it as long as there is sustained, prolonged nudity.

Why, why, why

The most pointless remake since Psycho

Hollywood sure is trying and failing at making him a star.

If they can remake a flop like Overboard (although I liked it), anything is up for grabs.

No thanks! Awful idea.

"Hollywood sure is trying and failing at making him a star."

We'll never stop trying to make Charlie Hunnam and Armie Hammer happen!!!

efeery

Hunnam better start stripping down and showing copious skin as his career needs a lift and its the best most direct way to get there. Unless! Unless a great script comes his way.

The movie has already been complete for awhile now. I'm not sure if and when they are going to release it.

I'd see it.

Apparently the new Charlie Hunnam version of this movie will be released in the USA in August of 2018.

"Apparently the new Charlie Hunnam version of this movie will be released in the USA in August of 2018."

And will promptly flop

gosh he look old for his age

musta lived fast n hard...

be hard to beat the first one, was such a good movie

True, every movie he in bombs, yet they keep giving him big movies. Someboddy up there likes him..

Even if it's good, and it may well be with the talent involved, it's still just kind of......pointless.

i wanan bum him

Is the movie going to co-star the Papillon dog?

lovely dogs, my sis found one by the highway near Waco tx, ... cutest thing! real attention getters, hers was tiny, black and white. lived to 13.

I agree he needs to do a good nude scene. I couldn't get past his handle bar moustache in a recent movie. I like Charlie and hopes he has a big hit soon but sadly Papillon probably won't be it....

Loved him since Queer as Folk, but he needs to do more nudity, cause his movie career is shit

He is jinxed. will be just a tv actor

This should do about as well as the remake of “Straw Dogs”.

Who’s the co star ?

Wish they would restore and release the old ones instead of remaking them. Bring back the repertory cinemas!

For the youngsters who've never seen the original. This was one of my Dad's favorite movies.

I'll take both...gift wrapped with bows, please.

r33 Who's the guy on the right?

He’s yet to top Queer as Folk.

[quote]Who's the guy on the right?

I think it's Garrett Hedlund

Uh, you mean remade, (2017 release) OP and already reviewed and off the screens.

r37, it hasn't been released in America yet, so it's not "off the screens"

What next? Patton?!

Picture it: Charlie deep-throating Chris Hemsworth while getting eaten out by Travis Fimmel.

Whatever he's in always reminds me of him in Queer as Folk.

He was such a revelation as an actor in King Arthur. I predict an academy award!

This year's Razzie award for Worst Actor

Translate this to his movies.

DL kinda fave Rami Malek plays the Dustin Hoffman role...

how does this guy keep getting roles?

jinxes every movie he in.

must have super tasty cock nectar.

Charlie did another movie with for sure DL fave Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Guess who the director is?

R47 who?

Fine by me! The original isn't a very good movie, it's surprisingly bland and uninvolving, considering the subject matter.

The book is interesting, if you can find a copy.

when was Hunnam's last hit??

Aaron's wife. She directed 50 Shades of Gray a movie Charlie wisely(?) dropped out of....

Trailer, showing what feels like the whole movie.

Handsome men, though.

This will end in tears!

I watched this last night on Amazon (it's free if you have Prime). Don't bother watching the remake unless you are a hardcore Charlie Hunnam fan (he is in great shape and handsome). If you've seen the original, this movie is so generic and emotionless - you feel nothing for the characters. Steve and Dustin had enough charisma that you felt for their plight. CH is not the actor to carry the many long scenes in solitary confinement. I guess millenials who don't even know who Steve McQueen is may get some entertainment from this film.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"I guess millenials who don't even know who Steve McQueen is may get some entertainment from this film."

Yawn, typical of a datalounger to bring up millennials for no reason, especially since it flopped with all ages. No one was interested in this.
