I hear that they'll be making an American version of My Dinner with Andre.
In this version, Clint Eastwood is a policeman who enters a restaurant to
find two diners (who had just been having an intelligent conversation)
brutally murdered, with blood all over the room.  Later, Eastwood tracks
down the murderers, who are extraterrestrial beings with flashy laser
weapons that cause numerous catastrophes and special effects.  Eastwood's
arm is blown off by an alien with a large flashlight-like object, and he
returns to confront his assailant after a dirtbike chase through a large
department store.  In the end, Eastwood asks the alien what the two restaurant
patrons had been talking about when they were killed, with his revolver pointed
at the alien's temple.  The alien removes his mask to reveal that it is
really a two-headed alien comedian (one head is Bill Murray, the other is
Steve Martin).  The Bill Murray head throws up all over Clint Eastwood, while
the Steve Martin head says "Excuuuuuuuuse me!"

I'm sure this version will appeal to those like ut-npg!lee who disliked the
original.  (To ut-npg!lee:  check out Amanda on ABC-TV---you'll love it!)
