Starring: Denzel Washington | John Travolta | James Gandolfini
Denzel Washington and Tony Scott have conquered submarines (Crimson Tide) and ferryboats (Déjà Vu), so it was just a matter of time before the actor-director duo turned their attention to subway trains. Their remake of the 1974 classic pits Washington as an NYC transit worker against a hostage-taking John Travolta.
Washington hadn't seen the original, but that didn't stop him from suggesting his character get demoted from cop to dispatch operator. ''He's not a guy familiar with weapons,'' explains Washington. ''So when he's put in the middle of this hostage situation, he's in over his head.''
