I could see Tom Hardy as Dracula – I thought that with the earlier list. Another decent set of actors.

Re: Recast your favorite movies
 

I thought Tom Hardy was better suited to play Jonathan Harker in the earlier part of his career, with Count Dracula later in his career. There's a few times in Wuthering Heights where Hardy's a dead ringer for Keanu Reeves.

Yes, that makes sense. I was a bit slow on the uptake at realising about all the vampire iconography in Star Trek: Nemesis, which is where I first saw him. He was brilliant in that film.

Haven't watched it but I've seen the images – that would be something to see:p.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1980)

Surely Anthony Quinn for Anton Chigurh?

Re: Recast your favorite movies
 

I had Shaw in mind for Anton Chigurh after watching him in From Russia with Love, as Donald "Red" Grant, a quiet, ruthless killer sent after James Bond to kill him and recover a valuable decoding device.

Yeah, he was great in that role. Good fight too, and as we can see from Spectre as well as The Spy Who Loved Me, it casts a long shadow:).

I was piecing together my list for Blade Runner earlier and trying to match people, roughly, to the age of the original actors. I was quite surprised at how young Daryl Hannah and Sean Young were for example. Looking at your Reservoir Dogs list I pictured Robert Mitchum as Mr Blonde, but he'd have been too old.

Re: Recast your favorite movies
 

What did you think of Lee Van Cleef as Mr. Blonde? Van Cleef would have been about 34 in 1959.

Taxi Driver directed by Tyler Perry

Travis Bickle played by Ken Jeong
Iris played by Shaquille O'Neal
Betsy played by Jackie Stallone
Sport played by Azis Ansari
Travis coworkers played by One Direction

Re: Recast your favorite movies
 

Hope my Fantastic Four casting is better than the movie made back in August.

I'm not sure because you might be expecting Lee Van Cleef to be the one that goes rogue.

And her nephew, Grady Fletcher would be played by Dwayne Johnson: -

http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/...psqrocdfw2.jpg

or Columbo starring Jesse Ventura.


"Oh... uh, one more thing... I don't mean to take up more of your time... but if you'll bear with me just one more minute... just one question then I promise I'll be on my way... something my wife said at breakfast keeps nagging at me... there was one thing that just kept bothering me... I couldn't help but notice..."

http://thelibertarianrepublic.com/wp...A-facebook.jpg

This is an interesting question... Does the Columbo character have two eyes or one? i.e. Is Falk's glass eye playing the role of a real eye?

Re: Recast your favorite movies
 

I don't think it was ever established that Columbo had a glass eye.
So I think Falk was playing a two-good-eyed character. Therefore his glass eye was indeed playing a real eye on the show.
Unless of course they acknowledged the glass eye (since I never saw every episode, I don't know). ;)

As far as I know, his glass eye was never mentioned in the show "Columbo".

However, I don't know if it's a true story or just an urban legend story, but supposedly when Peter Falk was a kid, he played in a Little League game, and when the umpire called him out, he pulled out his glass eye and handed it to the umpire and said something like "Here, you need this more than me". :lol:

Re: Recast your favorite movies
 

I have seen all the 70's episodes, but not all the nineties/noughties ones (they were bad). It was never mentioned in the 70's. Personally I agree that he was playing a two-eyed man.

As probably my favourite US show I would hate to see Falk replaced. I mean he IS Columbo.

Well, my post was just a joke (kind of inspired by your casting of Dwayne Johnson)! :)

I know, but I just got that horrible gut-wrenching thought of some Studio Execs sitting around a board table looking at spreadsheets and discussing casting options.

I remember seeing a Sky advert with Al Pacino and thinking – he should play Columbo.

I wonder if Marilyn Manson would make a good Joker.

His movie roles seem somewhat low-key, but he's wild in his music videos.

http://i61.tinypic.com/28upwtd.jpg

LOL! Falk always stayed low key, whereas Pacino would have to do his classic start-out-low then build to a crescendo of yelling rage!

"Oh... uh, sorry to bother you again, Judge Flemming... I just thought of one more thing... if you had put the candleabra in the dining room, then how did the revolver get taped to the back of the toilet in the bathroom? That's what I can't figure out. The one thing that bothered me... the one thing that stayed in my mind and haunted me was... how? Apparently, after your wife saw you go into the dining room, it was you who then got the gun from the bathroom and it was YOU, your honor, who killed both Captain McCluskey and Mr. Sollozzo in the dining room... with the gun you got from the bathroom. But the Prosecutor is not going to get you today, Judge Flemming... no... because I'M GONNA TO GET YOU! You, the honorable Henry T. Flemming should go RIGHT TO F%^&ING JAIL!!! YOU SONNUVA B*TCH, YOUR GUILTY!!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STAND FOR SOMETHIN'! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT PEOPLE! YOU'RE A SADIST! YOU'RE AN ABSENTEE LANDLORD!

The Master (2016)

Paul Thomas Anderson => Steve McQueen

Joquain Phoenix => Michael Shannon

Philip Seymour Hoffman => Kevin Spacey

Amy Adams => Rosamund Pike

PULP FICTION (1994)

Judd Nelson as Vincent Vega (The role of Vincent revitalized the career of John Travolta. Judd was great as John Bender in The Breakfast Club and it's too bad his career diminished soon after. I think Tarantino could have easily brought him back)

Denzel Washingston as Jules Winnfield (Who better to utter the line " It's the one that says Bad Mother F**ker" aside from Samuel Jackson than Denzel?)

Marisa Tomei as Mia Wallace (Marisa was/is a hot actress! She would have been sexier playing Mia than Uma)

Michael Clark Duncan as Marcellus Wallace (I just thought of a black actor who has the body and voice that suits the deep-voiced and heavy set nature of Ving Rhames)

Sylvester Stallone as Butch Coolidge (Sly was considered to play Butch before Bruce Willis was cast. I always thought he would have done great, playing a boxer and killing a bunch of baddies nonetheless)

Joe Pesci as Winston Wolf (Admit it, Pesci would have killed in this role, and he would have easily upstaged the great Harvey Keitel. I can imagine him uttering the line "Let's not start sucking each other's d**ks yet" and I can't stop laughing)

John Cusack as Pumpkin (Tim Roth was fantastic! I think Cusack, who's known to do long monologues in his movies very well, would delivered the whole conversation on robbing diners versus robbing liquor stores and banks with flair)

Meg Ryan as Honey Bunny (I just thought of another actress other than Amanda Plummer who could deliver the line "I gotta go pee, I wanna go home" in a cute way, and Meg Tyan immediately came to mind)

Adam Sandler as Lance (Vincent's drug dealer Lance yelled a lot, and Eric Stoltz did a great job yelling and screaming in the moment of panic. The only actor I imm thought of who is a superb yeller, and pretty much yells in almost every single one of his movies, is Adam Sandler. Aside from the yelling, Adam's awkwardness would have been perfect for a character who sells and takes drugs)

Madonna as Jody (Rosanna Arquette tried to imitate Madonna in the movie Desperately Seeking Susan. I think the real Madonna would easily pulled off playing a drug dealer's wife who's obsessed with piercings and using her studded tongue for fellatio)

Cyndi Lauper as Trudy (Trudy had a tiny irrelevant part in the film. But she shared the screen with Jody, who would be played by Madonna. Why not cast another 80's pop star to share the screen with biggest pop star ever?)

Reese Witherspoon as Fabianne (I threw Reese into this role because I coul think of anybody else)

Val Kilmer as Zed (A bad cop with a cool motorbike who is also a sexual deviant and a rapist. This part has Val Kilmer written all over it, not that he's any of those nasty things, but he's got the look for it)

Charlie Sheen as Maynard (A perverted second hand store clerk who is also a sexual deviant. Why not Charlie?)


Steve Buscemi as Jimmy (Only Steve can deliver a line like, "Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that says 'dead n***er storage'?" and make it sound just as funny as the way Tarantino delivered it, and even funnier)

Al Pacino as Captain Koons (I thought of another legendary actor like Christopher Walken who could deliver an awkward and completely inappropriate, hilarious, and detailed conversation to a child about a gold watch being shoved up many people's asses, including his own, before getting to him, and who better than Pacino. My second choice for this part would be Robert Deniro)

Dirty Harry (2003)

Harry Callahan: Sean Bean

Scorpio: Leonardo DiCaprio

I think it's a shame that Clint Eastwood didn't make more Dirty Harry films – apparently they were a fait accompli to allow him to do what he wanted on the side. In fact there are loads of his films that could easily have been Dirty Harry stories, The Gauntlet for instance. The problem is that the quality of the films got patchy towards the end, with parts of The Dead Pool just being a rehash of Sudden Impact, which was a vastly superior story.

You could probably remake Dirty Harry today, but I think I'd rather a reboot of some kind.

Re: Recast your favorite movies
