427. "Debaser" Pixies
"Debaser"
Pixies
Doolittle
1989
HOLLYWOOD, CA. - Paramount announced today that they are filming a "reboot" of Luis Bunuel's Un Chien Andalou, scheduled for release in summer 2013. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing, with Tony Scott to direct.
"The original film is a touchstone of the surrealist movement, but we wanted to do something darker and edgier," Bruckheimer said. "In our reboot, Sam Worthington is a black ops CIA agent gone rogue, and Gerard Butler is a blue collar taxi driver that the government thinks has the key to stop him. Megan Fox will play a nuclear physicist that Butler's character is driving at the time."
Asked what this has to do with the original 1929 silent film, Bruckheimer said, "We think we have captured the spirit and tone of Bunuel and Dali's film, but darker and edgier, with more explosions, car chases and midriff-baring tops. But we didn't include the lady getting her eyeball sliced open, because that was just really fucking gross."
