A. Could it even be done?
B. What would they be moving? Weed?
C. Who could play the parts?

For the parts, it seems McConaughey probably would be the guy for the Bandit. Can't say I know for the others.

Uh, yeah! The entire premise is that they are going to do what they say can't be done.

I don't think it'd be super relevant today, but I could maybe see some kind of Tom Henry-esque movie about a trucker versus a self-driving semi.

McConaughey is too old, you get the next tsip in line, Glen Powell.

Oddly enough, I drove next to an old school Burt Reynolds Trans Am today. My kids didn't understand how cool it is/was.

Good call. Still think he should have played Rooster.

He can deliver the lines, but dude is nowhere near good looking enough. Dude makes me look like Don Johnson.

There is something sexy about him
I can't explain it, but it is there.

Like he knows exactly what to do to make a happy night.

Between the trans am comment and using Don johnson as your frame of reference, you are dating yourself.

They are very similar looking (which is why I listed him). The more I think about it though, I think Ryan Gosling would nail that part.

Ok, relative to this movie I can be somewhat considered a young pup. Why was it illegal to sell Coors in Atlanta in the 70s?

full disclosure: I have somehow never seen all of the movie.

I had this thought for years but It's too late now, but Yuenling to California.

And Dax Shepard as the bandit and Kristin Bell in Sally Fields role.

Bradley Cooper as snowman.
Paul Giamatri as the sheriff.

At the time, Coors was content to be a regional beer and never applied for distribution rights in states east of Texas. So you couldn't sell or distribute it.

Oh, you could think about it; but you couldn't do it.

That gave it a forbidden cachet.

ETA: One reason for the lack of interest in going national is that one of Coors' selling points at the time was that it was shipped and stored cold, so going from Colorado to say, Georgia, would have been prohibitively expensive at the time.

It was like Yuenling l. You couldn't buy it in certain states.

Because you could make him look like he was Goose's son?

Dude, you are missing out. We watched it not too long ago and it's still awesome. Eternally quotable.

Jackie Gleason is irreplaceable.

I hope it doesn't get remade. There is no reason to.

Had this discussion with Bruce Willis, Tom Jane, Anna Heche and Ralf Moeller at dinner when we were shooting Breach. We thought it would be moving weed from Colorado to Texas for the grand opening of the first legal Texas dispensary. It would be a combination of Smokey and the Bandit and Canonball Run where there are several teams trying to make it to Texas first to collect the winner take all check.

Trans Am would be replaced by an EV. Probably Melissa McCarthy would be The Bandit and some soy boy would be Sally Fields

Who cares about Smokey and The Bandit.

When are they going to bring back BJ and the Bear????

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

Breaks my heart that one of these individuals lost her mind and died in a bad way, and Bruce Willis apparently is essentially terminal and may not know who he is anymore.
