In 1968, Dick Van Dyke followed up the success of Mary Poppins by playing the leading man in the musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was another family favorite that is still loved today. So you would think the movie studio would leave it alone. They are not.
Variety is reporting that Amazon MGM Studios and James Bond backers Eon Productions are in the early stages of remaking the classic.
Why is it important to mention James Bond? Ian Fleming, who authored the James Bond books, also wrote the novel that the film is based on.
I am assuming that Eon Productions is nowhere near finding a Daniel Craig replacement to play Bond, so they need the money, and they think this is their answer. Do you think it is?
