John Carpenter Is Gangsta What!

Look at him rippin that butt!

This is the coolest news of the day for me thus far.  I gotta say that I’m quite impartial to John Carpenter and his movies.  He’s a horror fan, and I’m not as you all well know.  The only movie of his that I am a huge fan of… “They Live“  featuring the Rowdy Roddy Piper.  The movie rocks, but the rest of his “films”… I no like!

BUT…. this idea sets my pants on fire, my friends.  Here’s the Abby poo mcgee from firstshowing:

Devin recently spoke with Jeremy Passmore, who is writing the script for The Prince along with Andre Fabrizio. “We were trying to do Unforgiven as a gangster movie, because we’re both just huge fans of that.” So far so good – but what is it about? “The premise is that this guy was the most [badass] gangster of all time in Las Vegas, and he’s left the life and created this whole new world. His wife died but he’s raising his kid. He’s living in the middle of nowhere and he’s this very religious, trying to live a straight life guy. His daughter is now going to school at UCLA and she disappears, and he goes looking for her. The trail leads to Vegas and he has to go get her, and the entire city kind of comes down on top of him.”

I love movies where peeps come out of hiding to seek revenge upon those who trespass among in places they shouldn’t be.  David Cronenberg’s “A History Of Violence” perfected that idea, and there are a ton of movies like that.  But I think we have yet to see a gangster flick to bring us such delights… I’m interested in seeing where Johnny can take this idea… Hopefully it works out well, and he can ween himself off low budget horror baskets.

Taking place in Vegas is perfect… I hope we get to see some knuckleheads tossed about and thrown into slot machines where millions of dollars in pennies come rushing out into the hands of an old lady in a wheelchair smoking a cigarette!… And dammit… We better see some fuckin craps being played heavily in this movie film……

DOLLAR YO!!!
