Orange Film Studios releases remade Ryan
Spielberg smash the latest to get re-envisioned
Orange Film Studios is causinܫg controversy again, this time with its new release, Saving Private Ryan’s Number, the debut film from Mr Dresden.
“Listen, we loved the original,” Dresden said. “Loved its power, loved all the shouting and running around and general mayhem. But, you know, if they really wa⛄nted to find this Ryan guy, why didn’t somebody just call him?”
Which makes about as much sense as asking why Columbus bothered with a boat ♏an♍d didn't just fly to America instead.
Never-the-less, the studio exec continued: “So we decided to remake it, only th🗹is time, the crux of the story is that nobody’s saved Ryan’s mobile number. That’s where all the trouble starts.”
We tend to think the trouble started at the co🐬ncept meeting, but we'll take your word for it Dresden.
This take on World War II has upset a number of historians, who have questioned the validity of using mobile phones in the Battle of Norma💛ndy. Because, y'know, they didn't ex♏ist.
But Dresden defended his choices: “Great cinema is all about commu꧂nication. What better way to communicate than with the mobile phone? Hello? Do these people need me to draw🌼 them a picture?”

“People’ll be crying when they see it,” he said of the latte𝓡r. “Really crying. Properly crying.” Stating the obvious there, Dresden.
