Also, to all my fellow artfags and film nuts, can anyone remember the name of the painting that Bronson was so obsessed over in the original?

That resume doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. This is gonna be another in a looooooong line of WTF remakes.

The painting....I remember it was a Bosch, but that's about it.
