Have you ever seen Every Which Way But Loose? The 1978 comedy starred Clint Eastwood at the top of his game, and fell right in the middle of a stint of badass roles as Man With No Name and Dirty Harry. Eastwood plays a truck driver who participates in bareknuckle boxing on the side to bring in some extra cash, and he's best friends with an orangutan named Clyde. Not only is this a 100% real film, but — you guessed it — Hollywood is remaking it.
According to Deadline, original director James Fargo is producing the remake and hand-picked its director, an up-and-coming filmmaker named Anthony G. Cohen who directed a little-seen movie called The Sex Trip. Filming starts this spring, but there's no word about casting yet. At this point, I'm no longer surprised with remake news. When Hollywood is remaking a movie about a guy and his orangutan fighting their way across the country,...

Tell someone that Every Which Way but Loose is getting remade and they may give you a bit of an "er, which movie is that again?" face. It is an odd, easily confused title for a movie, after all. It's not as distinct as, say, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Tell someone that they're remaking the movie where Clint Eastwood has a pet orangutan, though, and they'll know exactly what you're talking about. You can't really confuse that combination with any other movie (except, of course, the sequel, Any Which Way You Can). Original director James Fargo is producing the remake, which will be directed by Anthony G. Cohen who made last year's straight-to-vod body swap comedy The Sex Trip. They haven't cast anyone in the Eastwood role yet, so this project...
