I'm waiting for the Mel Gibson hollywood treatment of "Are You Being Served"

Captain Peacock played by Mel Gibson (ex marine operation iraqi freedom), prevents Al Quaida attack on downtown LA department store with hilarious results. All Towellheads and evil owner, Mr Grace, played by english actors.

Mrs Slocombe & pussy played by Jennifer Lopez with Scarlett Johanssen as the glamarous Ms Brahms. A camped up Sylvester Stallone as Mr Humphries and Ghetto-tastic Will Smith as his menswear side kick....

Should appeal to the hispanic, gay & black audiences. Just need a jewish one

Sorry i'm bored this afternoon zzzzzzzzzz

Mel Brookes as Captn Peacock

[Hart-floot]

also The Wicker Man - why remake that?

The Italian Job, King Kong yet again, The Haunting ... all crapper than the previous versions.

Because they have shed loads of money but no new ideas?

Its going to be a typical american re-write of history (reference "Enigma", "saving private ryan" and "U-571" that came out a few years back).

America saves the day...

mel gibson. The very words make me sigh.

He would use it as an opportunity to portray himself as the only caring SS man in the world, who fights to save Jewish children (in a desperate attempt to rebuild his 'image'), and shouting about freedom.

Oh, and the English would have started the war and the Germans would have simply been trying to protect Europe from British aristocrats who like to impale hamsters with their sabres.

But, the Americans would be trying to teach us how to be civilised (wouldn't want to turn off his revenue stream), and would somehow convince the depraved, hunchbacked Barnes Wallis to design a bomb that only causes the evil SS people to be drowned, while all the other stereotypes survive and are sheparded to safety by saint mel.

And it would feature lots of Scottish people telling the English they were wrong.

He sickens me.

"Mel Gibson was going to direct and possibly act "

So presumably it will be from the perspective of all those poor germans when the nasty Brits came along and flooded their houses.

On that basis, they'll be using B52s instead of Lancaster bombers, with Barnes-Wallace getting his idea for the bouncing bomb whilst working on his Ohio farm.

Aye, but from the Beeb article:

"He came back and said that [film company] Icon had the rights and that Mel Gibson was going to direct and possibly act in it," Jackson said.

"Obviously that didn't happen."

Thank gawd it didn't happen!

Why can't the leave well alone and concentrate on films that were poor the first time around. Like Bugsy Malone...too many kids in the film...

What are they going to do with Gibson's dog. Not a very PC name in today's world, despite it being historic fact.

It'll be called Nipper. Guaranteed. You heard it here first...
