According to Mr. Wiki, "A motion picture remake [of The Persuaders!] starring Steve Coogan and Ben Stiller is currently in the works."

Then I take it you don't want to hear about the Get Smart remake with Steve Carrel and Anne Hathaway?

You know, I used to not hate Ben Stiller so much, but now? HATE.

First Starsky & Hutch, now this.

Like Steve Coogan, won't go see this.

However, had no idea this show was out on DVD.

Can't we find some way to keep Ben Stiller from ever making movies again? Like maybe have him killed? Or at least maimed a little. Just a thought.

The Persuaders, Starsky & Hutch, the Duke brothers... all gorgeous (despite the fashion faux-pas of the eras they lived in) guys, played by yummy, man-candy type actors. And yet they keep casting guys in these remakes who are, at best, at a character-actor level of attractiveness, and at worst, look like freakin' thugs.

I want someone pretty to play Danny and Brett, dammit.
