Just came from a sneak peek of "3:10 to Yuma" starring Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, and our own dear Wash (Quite a summer for AT, he's popping up everywhere!). Without spoiling anything, Alan's part was pretty big, and he did an absolutely fantastic job in a departure from his more wacky characters. He was wry, pragmatic, and even somewhat of a badass at times. He did have one Washesque moment but I'll let you find that for yourselves. There was a Q&A with Ben Foster (aka "Angel" from X3) and Peter Fonda afterwards, and Fonda spoke kindly of Alan's work in a scene they did together. Anyway, that's all the news I got. Oh, yeah, the movie was good also. ;-)

Oh, goody! Thank you so much for reporting on your sneak peek, Ninah148.
Nice to hear that AT has a decent-sized part and gets to be a badass at least part of the time. And that PF appreciated him.
Hope this will be on a nearby screen soon...

I remember the original with Glenn Ford and Van Heflin. That was a good movie. I may just pick that one. I thought Glenn Ford made an excellent criminal. I don't think I ever saw him play a bad guy before.
Probably should get them both and see how they compare. See if they made any changes in the second one.

I never saw the original, but based on the Q&A they said this was quite different in parts (and better, of course!) They said a few characters were added or fleshed out from the original movie, and that overall the characterizations were more complex.

LOL, aren't the remakes always proclaimed to be better by their makers. This is a challenge we must meet! Trav is going to do a side-by-side, same as a wine challenge, and will report. We can do no less -- where do we get the old film?

Will have to buy it, I am sure. There was a time we had some independent video rental stores near by but they have all closed down. They were the only places you could find older films along with independents and foreign films. Alas, those days are gone. Now it is only mainstream.
So I guess it is off to Amazon or I may find it at Best Buys. They have a surprising collection. Who knows, the remake may get them to bring out the original.
Should have kept my mouth shut and now I wil have to spend some cashy money.

Saw an ad for this today, and I said, " Isn't that a remake of an oldie, but one I've never seen?"
And it's got our Wash in it. gotta go see it now...

Well, netflix has the original, of course. They have EVERYTHING.

Just looked into Amazon and a special addition of the orignal version 3:10 to Yuma is due in late August.
Think I will stick with the old standard version.
You can always count on the promise of money to dust off an old classic.
EDIT:
Well I ordered the original along with a few other movies I've been meaning to purchase. So this was incentive to finally order some films I have wanted.
