The remaking of Pelham One Two Three hits the tunnels
Via the AMNY Subway Tracker blog comes news that film crews for the upcoming Tony Scott remake of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three are scouting for locations. The crews, according to transit officials, stopped by the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station yesterday, probably to inspect the abandoned outer platforms that have long been used as movie sets. They may do some tests in the Bronx as well. The remake, starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta, promises to defile the memory of one of the classic New York City movies.

With Travolta? Oh yeah. Battlefield Earth: Subterranean Scenery Chewing Edition.
