Is The Clockwork Orange Remake With Tom Holland Real?

It’s easy to get fooled by the Facebook image, as the poster is convincing … sort of. Realistically, «A Clockwork Orange» remake is possible, but chances are Tom Holland and Guy Ritchie aren’t the right fits for the project. Holland is continuing to tackle a number of serious roles, but he’s best known for playing Spider-Man for Sony and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sony wasn’t immediately sold on Holland as Spider-Man, but based on the financial goodwill his trilogy has generated, it’s safe to say that the British actor will continue to play the webhead for a long time. It also has the potential to be a traumatic production for Holland, as actor Malcolm McDowell went through a painful mishap while filming the original «Clockwork Orange.»

Ritchie, however, is an inspired and intriguing choice to direct «A Clockwork Orange.» Known for his witty and violent films, Ritchie could definitely create a contemporary «Clockwork Orange» that speaks to the tastes of modern audiences. But seeing as the film was (and still is) so controversial, it’s unlikely that a mainstream director of Ritchie’s caliber would take on the task of remaking one of Kubrick’s most influential films. 

Still, the idea of Holland and Ritchie teaming up is an intriguing prospect. While the two creatives haven’t crossed paths yet, it’d be exciting to see them collaborate for what could potentially end up being an action classic.
