This might just do nobody any good.
Good call on Russell. He and Chris Pratt always seemed like good analogues to each other.

I haven't seen Magnificent 7 either, I was just commenting on the Russell/Pratt recast. I think they have a similar screen persona that makes them natural swaps to each other.

Love Sunshine. One more underrated films of the last 20 years.

I'd go with someone like Giancarlo Esposito as Searle for a 90s version. You gotta keep the cast as diverse as possible since that's kind of the point.

Cary Grant -> George Clooney
Eva Marie Saint -> Emma Watson
James Mason -> Mark Rylance

Rear Window

James Stewart -> Matt Damon
Grace Kelly -> Amanda Seyfried

Jane Gordon - Vera Farmiga



Joker - Noomi Rapace



Helen Dent - Jessica Chastain



Richard Dawes - Jake Gyllenhaal



Lucy Fox - Gina Torres



Ra's Al Ghul - Tilda Swinton



Jennifer Crane (thanks Seeing) - Janet Landau



Sylvester Kyle - Lee Pace



That's all I got. No clue on Bane. Or Officer Blake. Maybe Ellen Page?

Willem Dafoe as Jonathan Crane

Definitely should have happened. I like Jack Nicholson of course but I definitely think Dourif would have been more akin to Heath Ledger's version, which I loved.
