Remember “Six Pack”? The early 80s Kenny Rogers vehicle that combined “Le Mans” with “The Brady Bunch”, telling the story of a big-shot race car driver who suddenly found himself the legal guardian of six youngsters (one being a young Diane Lane)? I certainly do. It was a much-looped BETA in our house. And I’m guessing it’s still in the garage of the family abode there somewhere… just waiting for a lurking possum to poop on it. Look, in all honesty, it was a cute little family flick – and I’m not surprised at all (well, besides the reason that everything and anything is fair game for the do-over these days) Twentieth Century Fox are remaking it.

Writing and Directing the redo is rising filmmaker David Gordon Green (“The Pineapple Express”, “Your Highness”). Green tells The Hollywood Reporter he actually wrote the film on spec – first as an original piece, then later, at the request of Fox, refitting it to be a “Six Pack” remake.

The original had Rogers’ newfound kids using their skills to be members on the race car driver’s pit crew. Imagine the remake will follow a similar route (Though, I’m betting the driver will look less like ‘The Gambler’ on more like Danny McBride).

The movie was first announced in 2008, but Green tells the trade he’s still onboard and is as excited as a whore in a crack house to do it.

“Six Pack” is one of two films Green is set to direct for Tom Rothman’s crowd – he’s also attached to “The Sitter,” which he describes as “Jonah Hill babysitting three kids and taking them on a coke run.”

Question is, will Green be using a script for either? In an interview with my long-time pal Josh at Cinema Blend, the Austinite says he’s not a big fan of the written word, and prefers to just make stuff up as he goes.

“I never bring scripts to set and I don’t really care about them. If they get my movie financed and if AD thinks it’s an agreeable schedule, well then I don’t need them. I know what the scene kind of needs to do and if I have the actors that embrace that, then we just improv. I do that if I’m making a $40,000 movie or a $50 million movie.”

Hmmm… so that’s what was wrong with “The Pineapple Express”!
