Why Shane West Doesn't Want A Walk To Remember Reboot
Shane West explains why he doesn't want A Walk to Remember reboot. West is an American actor, singer, and songwriter, best known for his roles as Landon Carter in A Walk to Remember, Batman villain Bane in Gotham, Tom Sawyer in The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, and Michael in Nikita. In addition to his acting career, West currently sings for the punk/rock band The Twilight Creeps.

A Walk To Remember follows Carter (West), a rebellious high school senior who finds himself falling unexpectedly in love with the Baptist minister's daughter, Jamie Sullivan (Moore).
