Vanishing Point (1971 Film) - Remake

Remake

A remake was created for Fox television, first airing in 1997, and also featuring a 1970 Dodge Challenger. The film stars Viggo Mortensen as Jimmy Kowalski (in this version, the character has a first name). Kowalski is rewritten as a suspected militia sympathizer from Idaho, and Jason Priestly as "The Voice", a libertarian talk radio shock jock who replaces Super Soul. The two films are similar, but the remake removed all of the original's mystical elements.

Richard Kelly is currently writing a remake of the film for 20th Century Fox.
