A knuckle boxer called Mickey, could it be more stereotypical? Brad Pitt's Irish accent, could it be any worse?
Well not to worry because we won't be subjected to Pitt's accent anytime soon because he is not to be recast in Crackle's Snatch the TV series.
Sony own the rights to Crackle which is an internet TV service. After witnessing the monster success of FX's TV version of Fargo, Crackle were left inspired. Crackle then went to the drawing board and are now releasing a 10-episode series following the plot line of Guy Ritchie's cult-film Snatch. You keeping up?
Ritchie's Snatch offered up plenty of storyline avenues to pursue with its interweaving plots and abundance of intriguing underworld characters. The producers intend to really delve into these characters and their dealings in the grimy underground world of London. With Sony TV behind their back, Crackle are really relying on the TV Snatch to bolster up their credibility as a couple of years ago their UK market was shut down.
There's no date assigned to who we could expect to see Snatch air but it's almost definitely certain that we won't be seeing any of the original film cast which boasted Brad Pitt, Benicio Del Toro and Jason Statham.
Just to remind you however, here is Brad's pitiful Irish accent (excuse the horrible pun).
