THE SWEENEY ON HOLD
The movie remake of cult British cop show THE SWEENEY has been halted over fears it isn't international enough.
Fox Searchlight executives have decided to shelve the film, which was due to start shooting in Britain next month (Sep08), according to trade paper Daily Variety.
The movie was to star Indiana Jones + The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull star Ray Winstone and newcomer Michael Fassbender as the tough detectives played by John Thaw and Dennis Waterman on TV in the 1970s.
Writer/director Nick Love is still on board to direct the movie, which insiders hope will start shooting next year (09) after a Hollywood name is added to the cast.
