Saw a sneak preview of the remake early last week: it was a pretty fun
caper movie. I'll have to see it again as they screened a rough cut: they
warned the color wasn't the same as the final print will be, some of the
transition scenes were a bit off and being reshot, and the film score was
a mix of Oakenfold's music from the _Get Carter_ remake (the one with
Stallone in 2000, not the 1971 original) and Fluke's "Atom Bomb" song. And
I bet they'll do a DVD release of the original after the remake opens at
the end of May.
