The Raid Remake will star the Hemsworth brothers.

Now before you dismissed remakes, this one is actually quite intriguing having both Thor and little brother (Not Loki, in real life/Hanna Montanna ex) it'll end up being another Die Hard Clone but what action movie in the past decade hasn't been a Die Hard clone?

The director of The Expendables 3 is the man tasked with the Hollywood remake of The Raid...

Some people, when they take on a remake, give themselves a more straightforward job than others. Few were too bothered, for instance, when Steven Soderbergh remade the Rat Pack heist movie Ocean's 11, primarily because the original was rubbish, and few cared about it.

But what do you do when the original is outstanding, proclaimed as one of the finest in its genre for years, and has an equally acclaimed sequel arriving? How do you tackle a film where the emphasis was on months of gruelling physical production?

Well, that question needs to be sent in the direction of Patrick Hughes, who has just been announced as the director of the Hollywood remake of The Raid.

Brad Ingelsby, who penned Out Of The Furnace, is working on a script for the film. Gareth Evans, who has directed the two Raid movies to date, will produce. Chris and Liam Hemsworth have also already been linked with the film.

Hughes' next project is The Expendables 3, but it's worth remembering that he got that job off the back of the thriller Red Hill, which is worth seeking out.

More news on The Raid remake as we hear it. The Raid 2, meanwhile, arrives in UK cinemas in April.

The Wrap.

Hollywood just can't stop ruining good things. Why go see the fantastic original when you can see the dumbed down remake?!?!

Hilarious

I expect lots of secks and tiddies in this one, because I don't see how else it could live up to or be better than the original.

Do you mean they're remaking that Dredd movie that came out a couple years ago?

Slumhouse secks and tiddies doesn't sound appealing.

Pictures of those meth zombies have been burned in my mind.

I saw Spike Lee's Oldboy remake. It was a sad waste of time even when fast forwarded.
