I can’t let this one go without commenting on it.

Over the last few days, various sites have reported that Sean Bean will be playing the Rutger Hauer part in the remake of The Hitcher. This has met with almost unanimous praise – I don’t think I’ve come across anybody who isn’t pleased with the decision.

So allow me to weigh in on this one, providing the internet with a much needed voice of reason: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOOOOOO!

Would everyone who thinks Sean Bean will ruin the Hitcher remake – which is a fundamentally bad idea anyway, find something crappy to remake; leave my classics alone, please – form an orderly queue here. Thank you.
