According to Copenhagen film magazine Ekko, Martin Scorsese is apparently discussing the possibility of remaking Taxi Driver.

That’s right, Taxi Driver, the film with Robert De Niro as the anti-hero who saves Jodie Foster, very violently. I believe that crackle.com was showing this film for free last summer, and that’s when I first saw it. Honestly, I see no reason to do it any more than redoing the first Star Wars movie. I mean, I don’t see much wrong with it.

According to Ekko, there isn’t any word if Taxi Driver will be a sequel or remake, but it might be done by Danish Director Lars von Trier, who gave us Antichrist.

I can’t help but wonder if this rumor is true, and honestly, I hope that it isn’t.
