Un remake à la sauce india?

[Mc P. Manu]

'Back to the Future' remake set to shoot in India?

According to India's only Film News Service Agency (Realbollywood News),
Back to the Future is set to be remade as the fantasy film Action Replay starring two very popular actors in that country.



India actor Akshay Kumar is said to be cast in the Michael J. Fox role and Aishwarya Rai in the Lea Thompson role.
Obviously, the director (Vipul Shah) isn't aiming for Kumar to portray McFly as a teenager, since the actor is 41 years old. Likewise, actress Rai is 35.stop

After stumbling upon the article, I dropped Bob Gale a quick email to see what he might know about the project. "It was news to me," he admitted.

The movie is set to begin filming in February 2009, and while other sites state that the film is "loosely" based on Back to the Future rather than a remake, I suspect that production using any of Back to the Future's source material without proper permission won't be getting very far.
