From MovieWeb: Is there any one movie or franchise that you would like to have an opportunity to remake or re-boot?

I only have a really weird answer, which is Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. John [Cusack] and I co-directed the American stage premiere of the movie. We took an adaptation and worked on it. We revised our own adaptation of it and did the American stage production, which ran in Chicago for a couple of months when we had a theater company together. So I would like that because I love Terry Gilliam and Johnny Depp’s version but we want to do our own version. So I would love to have a shot at redoing that movie because we really love the Hunter S. Thompson esthetic. So it would be nice. I think there’s a Hunter S. Thompson movie in us too. Everyone gives it a shot but I’m convinced that we know how to do it the best. Sorry great actors Johnny Depp, Benicio del Toro and great director Terry Gilliam but I still think we have something to offer in the Hunter S. Thompson cannon of work in bringing it to film, so I’d like to do that.

Fear and Loathing can't be done any better.  Johnny Depp is uncannily HST-esque as Raoul Duke and Benicio Del Toro is phenomenal as Dr Gonzo, not to mention the fact that Thompson was around to oversee the script and help it be the masterpiece it is.  If Pink makes this movie he will earn the hatred of the great unwashed masses of HST die hards , myself included.  Hopefully because this is just a what do you wish you could do question that nothing more will ever come of this.  If anything more of this comes about you'll be sure to find out here while a rant like a madmanover the tarnishing of a legend.
