Please remain a rumor... Butch and sundance remake?

[Riffster]

John Travolta is excited about possibly starring in a remake of the classic 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' with buddy Tom Cruise.

"Someone came up with a good idea - it was a remake of 'Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid' - and there was a rumor that we were gonna do that, and I said to Tom, 'It's not a terrible rumor, it's not a bad idea,'" the 'Grease' star said.

Access Hollywood's AH Nation and PopEater want to know if you think an update of the film with Travolta and Cruise -- the original starred Robert Redford and Paul Newman -- is a good idea

Isn't Travolta like 6'2" and Cruise is like 5' ?

Sounds like a great idea to get them together for a movie

Travolta is indeed 6' 2".

Tom Cruise is 5' 7" on a good day.

BTW...Travolta and Cruise ain't no Newman and Redford.

still 2 of my faves so i'd watch it

Travolta would have to drop alot of weight to pull it off.

Don't remake perfection. That movie can't bet better with two new actors. This is just crazy.

Hollywood has officially run out of ideas

Funny thing is so many of our favorites are.......remakes!

Are they actually remaking that film, or are they making a Butch and Sundance film based on the real characters? The first is silly, the latter I'm ok with as it means another Western ! (I tell you the Western genre is poised for a comeback....although I could live without ever seeing a Western with Cruise or Travolta in it.)

Another reason why it'll suck
