Washington, May 17 : Film companies ‘Twentieth Century Fox’ and ‘New Regency’ are gearing up to remake the 1981 military drama ‘Taps’.

The screenplay for the drama, famous for launching Tom Cruise, Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton’s careers, will be written by Frank E. Flowers.

Johan Davis will produce the movie, while Robbie Brenner will be associated with it as executive producer.

“The political climate and the psyche of the country make it an exciting time to tell that story,” Variety magazine quoted Flowers as telling.

“When you are at war, kids are forced to make decisions normally reserved for adults, like fighting for your country and standing up for what you believe in,” he added.

The original drama was directed by Harold Becker. It revolves around a group of loyal cadets who seize control of their military academy, as construction crews arrive to tear it down and make room for condos.

I’m also finding that the forum is working, but you can’t post. I hope Annie will fix that soon for us. I have emailed her with the details.

2 Comments to “‘Twentieth Century Fox’ set to remake ‘Taps’”

  • I remember this movie and it launched the career of Tom Cruise as did All The Right Moves, Risky Business and many more. The remake will never be as good as the original but it is a timely remake. I would like to read what Tom would think about it.

  • Tom might take on the part of the military school master, which was played by Scott, since he could not be a cadet…? But what today’s upcoming young actor could be taking his part????
