The list of remakes on Wikipedia is HUGE ! I want "The Hustler" on that list ! It would only make sense then to make the sequel, and there's always the possibility of a trilogy considering the 25 or 30 years between Fast Eddie's role in each film. After all, just because Bert got him shut down in the mainstream, that wouldn't mean he had to stop playin' altogether ! Does anybody know a producer ?:smile:
 
Hollywood would best be advised to leave the "Hustler" & "The Color of Money" off of their remake list. Why mess with 2 perfectly good movies, No actor could ever replace Paul Newman as Fast Eddie!!

Now the idea of the trilogy is not bad, I've thought the same thing every time someone mentions we need a new Pool Movie to re-energize the sport. It would have to be Tom Cruise reprising his role as Vincent, but now he's the old master breaking in a new young Hustler. The movie could start with a scene of Vincent standing over Fast Eddies grave and he's reminiscing about their adventures (cue a couple of flashbacks to The Color of Money), then he's talking to Eddies spirit about this new kid he's found, and he tells Eddie he now understands what he put Eddie through all those years ago! and now he's the one in the position of having to pass the torch.

basically color of money plot but with Tom Cruise impersoning the old hustler. :D A very creative and fresh plot :thumbup:
For the young player, who? Justin Bieber? Just kidding, don't kill me :eek:
 
I think that's a great idea! How about if the new kid was deaf so everyone could speculate that it was about SVB...

LMAO - SVB not a bad Idea.

I'm sure if we got Hollywood headed in the right direction to start with, their writers could throw in some new twists so it wouldn't be exactly the same plot as Color of Money. I'm just saying for Hollywood to keep their hands off of the Hustler & Color of Money and not try to do exact remakes of either movie!

How about this:

Vincent gets older, becomes a scientologist, becomes a giant douche, is a closet homosexual and is revealed to have been wearing lifts in his shoes.

Somehow all the fans still love him and keep following his every move, even though he is still just riding on the success of his youth.

Oh, and somehow pool is involved and made better for it.

Yea, I'm not a big fan of Tom Cruise either, but if we want another big time Pool Movie we're probably going to be stuck with him.
 
Hey Vincent !!!

How about it starts out as a road player
getting made by Vincent. They begin talking
about how the cell phones and inter net have
ruined it for the road player and how there
isn't any money in pool any more, rooms closing
and all.

Then they get an idea about how they can make
a lot of money with something that is good for
pool. They call it the "Herbal IPT".

Yeah, let's put all of the pool players in it. While this horrible movie is shooting, we could have actors playing in the pool tourneys. A surefire winning plan.

Seriously, there are almost no good transitions from athlete to actor. Dwayne Johnson is about the only one and WWF is basically acting anyhow.

I didn't mean SVB to be the actor. I meant have the character be deaf to cause speculation and peak some interest...
The only appearances of real poolplayers would be cameos like in The Color of Money...
I'm sure Keith would be up for it again, lol!

Wresting has it's share of movie "stars", Andre the Giant was great in Princess Bride, Rowdy Roddy Piper was good in They Live (underrated movie IMHO), Mr. The Rock you listed, not bad at all, maybe best one of the bunch.

Instead of a movie based on fiction, someone should do a nice documentary on icons of the game, Grady, Accu-Stats story, Earl, Efren their old hang-outs, road partners, maybe in a nice grainy black and white footage.
