Hollywood's remake obsession is moving from the 80's into the 90's... and no one is safe...Do we need a new vesion of a 16 year old film? You decide...A remake of Sylvester Stallone's 1993 mountain climbing actioner “Cliffhanger” is on the way reports Variety.
In the original, that Renny Harlin directed Sly played a climbing expert who is forced to help a group of hijackers led by a scene chewing John Lithgow to recover three suitcases containing $100 million lost in the Rocky Mountains.
The film went on to become a big hit, raking in $255 million worldwide and had generally positive reviews for its impressive action including a mid-air hijack sequence and the famous opening suspense set piece involving a woman whose equipment fails during a perilous climb across a deep divide
The new version will center on a group of young climbers and will "feature multiple cliff-face locations". A screenwriter is being sought with production aiming to kick off next year.
I liked the 1993 film....The plot of the update sounds closer to another climbing actioner released in 2000 called Vertical Limit...
