as Sally Hardesty


Charlie Talbert as Franklin Hardesty


Willem Dafoe as Drayton Sawyer, the Old Man


Anthony Ficco as the Hitchhiker (if you get to see the movie Drifter, you can understand why I would cast him)


Brett Wagner as Leatherface (he actually played the Thomas Hewitt version in Kemper's death scene in the 2003 version but was later replaced by Andrew Bryniarski, so this would bring him back to the proper role)


Emma Roberts as Pam


Miles Teller as Kirk (Pam's boyfriend)

I might go with Walken as Sam Bell, worked with Trumbull before and has those Rockwell dance moves!

Alien

Emily Blunt - Ripley



Josh Brolin - Dallas



Christopher Eccleston - Ash



Sean Bean - Kane (of course)



Lily Rabe - Lambert



Danny Sapani - Parker



John Hawkes - Brett




Emily Blunt - Ripley

Christopher Eccleston - Ash
These are interesting choices. I could see Eccleston more as Dallas. There's something about Ian Holm as Ash that's very unobtrusive, initially at least. Funnily enough he's like a butler (can you tell I've just been watching The Remains of the Day?), which David often resembles in Prometheus.



Eccleston was the one I was the least sure of. Ian Holm is pretty hard to replace.

No surprises there. Fassbender mentioned Joseph Losey's The Servant as an inspiration for David.

Anyways, here's an Alien recast I've been thinking of for some time -

Naomie Harris - Ripley



Idris Elba - Dallas


(sort of perfect for this "hero at first sight" character)

David Gyasi - Kane



Ruth Negga - Lambert



Chad Coleman - Parker



Andre Royo - Brett


(good suggestion)

Jeffrey Wright - Ash




I don't think MKW is chill enough for Brett. I might go with Andre Royo for a Wire alum.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Not going to do images for this next one.

Directed by Walter Hill

Nick Nolte - Jackson Healy



Jeff Bridges - Holland March



Phoebe Cates - Amelia Kuttner

Holly is played by some unknown child actor. Jodie Foster would be too old and Drew Barrymore too young.
