Talking (well, making a noise like an industrial mangler) to Variety, big Vin reckons this trip will ditch the CGI Dame Judi Denchisms in favour of a stripped back character study, because obviously, he’s always been known for his intricate character acting and ability to completly immerse himself in a role, as witnessed by his Olivier-eclipsing turn in The Pacifier.

Makes the upcoming Escape From New York remake sound almost palatable doesn’t it? Expect this shit to clog up screens in 2012.
