We're really not sure how we feel about this rumor, coming out of the Berlin Film Festival: Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro are going to do a new version of Taxi Driver with Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier.
The original Taxi Driver, made in 1976, featured Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle. Bickle is a loner who drives a cab in New York City. He grows increasingly disgusted by what he sees, which fuels his downward spiral as a gun-toting, mohawk head-shaving, vigilante.
There is no word yet if this film will be a remake or a sequel, or if other characters, such as Jodie Foster will be reprising their roles. Stay tuned for further news on Taxi Driver 2: Electric Bugaloo (shudder).
