Redford 'depressed' by Butch remake

21/01/2006 - 11:53:22

Veteran actor Robert Redford is "depressed" after hearing reports Matt Damon
and Ben Affleck would star in a remake of his classic film Butch Cassidy And
The Sundance Kid.

Patricia Martin Steward...

I can hardly blame him; it depresses me, too.

America's OK! Magazine reported this month the Good Will Hunting stars and
best pals would be reprising Redford and Paul Newman 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."

Fortunately for Redford, both Affleck and Damon's representatives have
denied their clients will be stepping into the famous cowboy boots.

Damon's rep Jennifer Allen adds: "I checked with their agent when this
appeared in OK! last week. It is not true."
