Winstone to star in Sweeney remake

'Indiana Jones' star Ray Winstone talks to Jonathan Ross about his plans to star in a movie remake of Seventies TV cop classic 'The Sweeney'.
On this week's 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross', 'The Departed' star talks about reprising the role of Jack Regan, played by the late John Thaw.
Speaking on the show Winstone says: "I loved John Thaw...I was in the original Sweeney as an extra [as a 17-year-old], just straight after drama college. It was a big show."
He adds: "[The new film] has the feel about it that the show had, it's really well-written. If it all works out I'd love to do it."
Talking about 'Indiana Jones' leading man Harrison Ford, he said: "He's unbelievable, as fit as a butcher's dog.
"He's down to earth...he'd do as many [stunts] as he could, he obviously got himself in shape for the film."
