Okay let's see how this unfolded.

Veteran actor Robert Redford was "depressed" after hearing reports Matt Damon and Ben Affleck would star in a remake of his classic film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. OK! magazine reported this month the stars and best pals would be reprising Redford's and Paul Newman's roles from the Oscar-winning 1969 movie.

Redford moans, "There is no shortage of good, original ideas and there's just no point to remakes. Why do they have to mess with things that were perfect the first time around."

1. Maybe they should "write" another movie.

2. Just wouldn't work.

I like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, but they don't have it in them.
