Tony Scott was trying to remake "The Warriors"!!??

Starring Tom Cruise as Swan?  Denzel as Cochise?
From GrantlandScott had talked for years about his plans for a Los Angeles–set remake of Walter Hill's 1979 pulp classic The Warriors, and about restaging the movie's opening set piece — the assassination of Gramercy Riffs leader Cyrus at a citywide gang summit — on the Vincent Thomas. "[Y]ou have a thousand gang members up there, then Cyrus goes bang," he told Cinema Blend in 2009. "It's almost like 9/11, bodies coming off, it just goes ballistic."

Man, does this story keep getting worse.  Now I find out the "The Warriors" reboot has also jumped off a bridge.  This is crushing.  If you were to ask me which movie do I want rebooted more than anything I would immediately reply, "Jeremiah Johnson".  But my second choice would be "The Warriors".  I hope there is a team of detectives ransacking Scott's office looking for this script.

I'm also totally baffled as to why he chose to jump off the same bridge that he envisioned Cyrus getting assassinated on...was this a stunt gone horribly wrong?  Can you dig it?  CAN...YOU....DIIIIGGG IT???
