LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -- Terence Winter, a writer and executive producer of "The Sopranos," has been drafted into "The Warriors" gang.

The scribe will write the remake of the 1979 street-gang classic, which Tony Scott is directing for Paramount-based MTV Films.

Scott's version will follow the outline of the first film -- in which a gang leader is assassinated during a truce, and The Warriors, wrongly accused of the assassination, must make their way home through hostile gang territories -- while updating the heightened reality of the original film for contemporary audiences.

The original was directed by Walter Hill and was written by Hill and David Shaber.
