I am sure that I am not the only one who is a fan of The Fast and the Furious franchise, but I bet that most people did not know that it a remake of a old Hollywood movie of the same name.
I did not, but I do now as right at this second as I type, I am watching the original 1955 black and white version of said film, staring John Ireland (who was one of the directors), Dorothy Malone and Bruce Carlisle.
In one of my yet to be published book (Never too Late), my heroine is a fan of action movies and can recount the original films to current movies.
With that said, I have always wondered if we are suffering a dearth of ideas in this modern times if all we are doing is rehashing old ideas and formulas.
Just thought that I would put that out there to any interested parties.
