The remake is slated to feature Ryan Gosling and is being directed by Nicholas Winding Refn. Besides having a totally awesome name, Refn's getting some incredibly good buzz lately for a soon to be released film called Drive, which also stars Ryan Gosling.
I only vaguely remember this film. The bits that I remember are VERY 1970s, the costumes especially. And I know some people (aka uber-geeks) have complained that it didn't follow the book very well.
So, movie nerds, if they remake this and stay closer to the book, do you think it's worth a look? I have to say, I never paid much attention to Ryan "The Notebook" Gosling but I recently saw Crazy, Stupid, Love and man I'm watching now. (The mostly nekkid didn't hurt.)
