'Life On Mars' actors say no to US remake
>Life On Mars actors John Simm and Philip Glenister have turned down offers to star in a US remake of the hit BBC show.

Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley has been planning the remake and wanted the two lead actors to take on the parts but with American accents.

But Simm, who played DI Sam Tyler in the cop drama isn't interested, saying: "They wanted us to have US accents. But I don’t know why they have to remake everything.

"Anyway, they have already got their own version of our show — Starsky & Hutch.”
