US TV to re-remake Cracker

British TV fans cited how ABC ruined Cracker when it remade it with the late Robert Pastorelli taking Robbie Coltrane’s role of Fitz, especially when news of a US remake of Life on Mars surfaced. (No twitters, meanwhile, on news that the Spanish are remaking the show; also the critics seem to be silent on the botched British remakes of Married with Children, Who’s the Boss? and Outrageous Fortune).
Get ready for more mud-slinging heading westward across the Atlantic. The Americans are having another crack at Cracker, executive-produced by Robert Duvall (who isn’t called Robert in this?), as a TNT original production. No whispers yet in the article about whom will play Fitz. I actually hope it could be Coltrane himself, who has faked an American accent often enough.

I've never watched much Cracker, but Coltrane is such a strong character, like you I really hope that they choose him as a leading character like that brings so much to the role.

Since it’s no longer a regular show in the UK, they would be foolish not to consider him. I didn’t watch many, either, but I watched enough to see how intense and well suited he was in the role.
