That's a seriously brave project to take on.

The original still pretty much stands up, today.

Two different worlds - loved the original and will watch the 2012 version with an open mind!

The new version looks far too noisy.

Plan B in Denis Waterman role is a real risk

I see Nick Love is the director lets hope it's more like the Business than Outlaw. At least Nick Love hasn't made another film with Danny Dyer who was earmarked to play the Ben Drew (Plan B) role when this film was first announced.

Ben Drew's voice/accent does sound terrible in the trailer but fair play to him he was good in Harry Brown.

If its anything like Harry Brown then thats a positive.

Harry Brown, Sexy Beast and Long Good Friday are my top three in this genre

If anyone can pull it off Ray Winstone can, Looking forward to it so won't pre judge.

Trivia: The first line Jack ever said in the Pilot show called Regan then went onto to to be the The Sweeney was. "Put your trousers on, your nicked" :lol:

Not sure if Ray could pull it off now. Standing there saying " We're the Sweeney love, and we haven't had our dinner " would look a barefaced lie when you look at the size of Ray now.

Ray Winstone is a bit of a one trick poiny imo, looks like he gives his usual over the top performance from what i can see in the trailer, it looks unconvincing to me , there was a bit more to the character of regan than winstone is capable of portraying.

The most curious thing..
Film spinoffs are invariably awful.

Start of original play....
