I read this story over at MTV earlier this morning whilst eating my Coco-Pops — and indeed nearly choked on them. It seems that Robert De Niro is interested in making a sequel to his break-out role in the 1976 film Taxi Driver. Speaking to the music channel, De Niro said:
“I have talked to writer Paul Schrader and Marty. We’ve spoken about what would happen to Travis these years later.
“We had a thing and we tried to figure it out; Paul was trying to come up with something. And it just didn’t seem to work.”
He added: “You never know – something could come up. I thought it would be interesting to find a way to bring Travis back all these years later – maybe with something ironic about where he’d end up, as he did in the first one. All these years later, maybe we could. It’s still possible.”
Okay… we’ll wait and see on this one, especially as Scorsese has a bunch of projects lined up for the next two years at least, starting with his 3D Hugo Cabret movie which is set to start shooting in London in June.

Meanwhile, having made BILLIONS upon BILLIONS
outsourcing cheap labor, and generally catering
to the franchise slum denial needs of history’s
–MOST– awesomely genocidal regime –ACROSS
the Pacific —Hollywood, when not hiding behind
played out PC ‘consciousness’ —is parasatizing
what creativity it ever had…
MEANWHILE, the 60th Anniversary of the urgently
relevant, indeed, STILL unfolding KOREAN WAR
is once again ‘mysteriously overlooked’…
