Hollywood copying Bollywood! Worrrd!?!

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?" -- Chris Rock...

Yea foolio...how bout adding that Hollywood's doing a remake based on a movie made by BOLLYWOOD to that list of craziness!!!

Don't they know how Indian movie's really go? If ya guys had forgotten or never seen an indian movie before (good, cuz you were kinda spared), here's a basic synopsis of any indian movie:

The remake, surprisingly, does sound kinda interesting. Chris Tucker (Rush Hour) plays a Gangster who pretends to be a doctor to please his family. Anywho, here's the article I scrounged up on the remake:

Gangsta M.D.: Chris Tucker in dem Bollywood - Remake?

LONDON: Bollywood has a fine tradition of remaking Hollywood hits, but the tables are being turned now and an Indian comedy, Munnabhai MBBS , is set to be remade in the United States.

Munnabhai, MBBS , starring Sanjay Dutt, a flick about a gangster who pretends to be a doctor whenever his parents turn up, will be shot as Gangster MD . It will be directed by Mira Nair, best known for Monsoon Wedding in 2001.

Nair said Chris Tucker, the Hollywood action star who came to focus as the wise-cracking cop in Rush Hour movie, would play the lead in Gangster MD .

Filming is expected to begin after Tucker finishes shooting Rush Hour 3 with Jackie Chan in Paris this summer.

Munnabhai MBBS is one of Bollywood's success stories. It tells of a gangster's decision to redeem himself by trying to become a doctor - which he hopes will also prove himself to the woman he loves and her father, superintendent and principal of a medical college and hospital.

Nair said she might cast some actors from the Bollywood original and is on the lookout for Indian stars.
