Robert Aldrich's original release, inspired by E.M. Nathanson's 1965 novel of the same name, starred Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, John Cassavetes, Robert Ryan, Telly Savalas, Robert Webber, and Donald Sutherland as rule-breaking members of a real-life U.S. Army demolition unit during World War II.

The revamp will take place in a more contemporary setting, and will be produced for Warner Bros.' upcoming WarnerMedia streaming service, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
