 - just to note, yes, I know I'm championing Edgerton in yet another lead role along with a bunch of other aussies, but a Phantom with that amount of antipodeans honestly works - the character is frikkin huge over here, always has been and Edgertons got the kinda jawline to fill out a cowl.

I clearly got the idea from the grunge brother. If this leads to the New Wave, Prog, and Acid Rock Brothers, so be it.

The Punk Brothers obviously has to be directed by Alex Cox.

post #1214 of 2190

I'm sorry but True Blood on his resume or not, I can't support a Viking movie without Alexander Skarsgard in it.

post #1215 of 2190

Skarsgard would make a pretty awesome Einar, plus we can go ahead and get Stellan as Ragnor.

Obviously Dwayne Johnson for Arnold and either Sam Rockwell or Will Arnett in Bill Paxton's role. Kurt Russell as "Not Really Nick Fury".

post #1224 of 2190

I see Joel McHale in the Arnold role. I think he would sell the dual life aspect better. While Arnold is good in the role, he doesn't look like a computer salesman. Sean Connery as Not Really Nick Fury.

post #1225 of 2190

What about Harrison Ford in the Heston role? 

post #1226 of 2190

Chloe Moretz as Eliza Dushku, of course.

That's sort of a rule for this thread.  Any male supporting role you need to cast from the 60's or 70's?  Just plug in Warren Oates.  Casting Oates, it's the right thing to do.

I don't get recasting movies with sit-com stars. Joel McHale replacing Arnold Schwarzenegger??! I'd never see it.

post #1240 of 2190

Schwarzenegger's awful in the movie.

 

Actually I should correct myself by stating that True Lies is fairly awful all over the place.

It's most fun for me to literally think "if this movie was approached the same way, but in a different period, what actors would be the best equivalent?"  Or, if I have a different approach to the material, then I want it to be something consistent that applies to the whole piece.  Say, Glengarry Glen Ross... I'm not going to imagine Shelley, Moss, Williamson, and Aaronow the same, but change Ricky Roma to a woman.  But an all female cast would work for me.

 

Anyway, that's just how I look at it.  I do find myself scratching my head at the choices sometimes; but it's a fun exercise on the whole, and I am glad there are at least a couple updates every day.

I have to agree.  I've loathed the film since I saw it the theaters.  I still cringe at the thought of that "interrogation" scene with Jamie Lee Curtis.  It struck me as pretty misogynistic at the time, although I haven't revisited the film since I was a teenager.

post #1243 of 2190

I rewatched Die Hard and I realized I'm not quite happy with the recast I did a few months ago, so...
