The other night I found myself scrolling through Netflix before bed just like I do every other night. However, I wasn't feeling the normal “Family Guy” or “American Dad” vibe that I’ve grown accustomed to. So after searching for about 15 minutes I stumbled across the cult classic gang film “The Warriors” and I was very excited.
I hit play immediately. I was instantly taken back to being a kid and sitting in the living room with my dad telling me all about how we had to watch this. He'd say “you’ll love it,” and I did. It’s been one of my all time favorite movies ever since.
I could probably quote the entire film if I ever needed to. After my first time watching it you probably could here me screaming the iconic quotes “Warriors come out and playyaayyyye” or “Can you dig it?” at my brother or sister if you happened to be passing by our house.
In 2005, “The Warriors” video game was released. My brother and I played for hours on end. Day or night, if you were looking for us we were probably glued to the Playstation 2. I think we beat the entire game in three days.
Even though it was late I ended up watching the entire movie. It made me think about how cool it would be to see a remake with modern technology. So I went to Google and searched “The Warriors remake” and apparently I wasn't the only one who thought it'd be awesome to see a remake.
Joe and Anthony Russo were already on top of it. Known for smashing the box offices with their Captain America films “The Winter Solstice” and “Civil War,” I feel it’s safe to say the remake is in good hands. The Russo brothers are teaming up with writer Frank Baldwin and turning the movie into an entire series that will be on Hulu.
Can you dig a Warriors remake? I know I can.
