Come Drink With Me Remake von Quentin Tarantino

[Dexter]

Na was den nun Herr Tarantino? Inglorious Bastards? Vega Brothers? Come Drink With Me Remake?

Laut einer Pressemitteilung der Weinstein Company soll Tarantino jedenfalls ein Remake von "Come Drink With Me" drehen.

Das könnte vielleicht das Mandarin-Projekt sein, von dem mal geredet wurde.

Setting their sights on Asia, Bob and Harvey Weinstein are setting up a $285 million fund, with the help of Goldman Sachs, to invest in movies with Asian themes and elements.

The fund, first reported Thursday by Bloomberg News, will be used to finance the production, acquisition and marketing of about 31 Asian films to be distributed by the Weinstein Co. over six years. The offering summary said the target is 21 theatrically released films and 10 direct-to-video titles.

With Goldman Sachs serving as the private placement agent, the fund is to be capitalized with $200 million of senior debt, $45 million of mezzanine debt and $40 million of equity, including a $15 million contribution from the Weinstein Co. and $25 million from third-party investors.

The movies will have strong Asian themes, use Asian talent, will be produced or filmed in Asia or will have major story lines that take place in Asia.

Titles that the fund is expected to handle include Wong Kar Wai's "My Blueberry Nights," the opening-night film at the Festival de Cannes, and a remake of the Hong Kong martial arts movie "Come Drink With Me," directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Goldman Sachs also played a role in raising the $490 million in equity and $500 million in debt that the Weinsteins used to establish their company in 2005.

Komisch das die Weinsteins nach dem Grindhouse Flop Tarantino gleich wieder Kohle zuschieben. :icon_mrgreen:

Bleibt abzuwarten wann der Film erscheint und ob, vielleicht dreht er ja zuerst noch Inglorious Bastards oder/und ein anderen Film und das Projekt kommt nicht zu stande, wäre ja nicht das erste mal. Auch gab es ja so manche komische Gerüchte (James Bond, Jimi Hendrix, Freitag der 13., usw.).
