 I was thinking of an 90's Kelly Heroes, but all I could come up with was Bruce Willis as Big Joe and Matthew Mcconnaughey as Odd Ball.

post #1402 of 2189

Bill Murray as Crapgame. Stallone as Kelly? Or Kurt Russell. (those two have been coming up a lot last page, though).

Yes!  I'd kill to see that.

 

Loving these Die Hard recasts.  Especially for using Renner as Stuart (and not McClane)!

So basically the same exact thing with Eastwood instead of Hackman?

 

I can see 70's Eastwood, not as much 80's. Nick Nolte was my second pick for Ottway.

Yes,  he would work better in the 70s, I actually was going to cast "The Grey" in the 70s, but I only got Eastwood as Ottway, Donald Sutherland as Flannery and Yaphet Kotto as Burke. Nolte would be great, I'm just not very fond of Hackman.

post #1426 of 2189

I know this is sort of like cheating. But, I really wanted to repost this as it's probably my favorite recast that I've done. And I sort of wanted to pick up on where I left off with this because I had some interesting ideas for a follow up.

 

For those of you who remember, here it is again. And if you didn't get a chance to see this one the first time, I hope you enjoy it.

The year is 1979...

 

Roderick Thorpe's NOTHING LASTS FOREVER has been purchased in galleys. But, although the screenplay adaptation by Lorenzo Semple, Jr is well-received, Frank Sinatra turns down the opportunity to make a sequel to his flop THE DETECTIVE. There is still interest in the property, however. So they make some adjustments (contributed by an uncredited Robert Towne) and change the film's title.

 

Reliable workman director John Guillermin is brought aboard (After Peter Yates turns them down). The result is one of those Sunday afternoon favorites that always show up on TBS....

No way, Burt would be Butch if anything.
post #1442 of 2189

Out of all of these "Vega"s, Burt's the only one I can see convincingly cut a rug with Sarandon (who would eat young Pacino alive). Burt was suave & cool.

post #1443 of 2189

You know who'd be a great Butch? McQueen. Because Nolte didn't really have a Willis level movie career at '76. And I just geek out picturing McQueen in the gun shop basement scene, kicking ass with the samurai sword.

post #1444 of 2189

I love Sarandon, but Mia needs to be otherworldly and film-noir-ish. From that era I was thinking of someone like Carole Bouquet, but maybe that's just me.

 

And yes, I'd love to have seen McQueen looking through all the weapons in that pawn shop!

I think you're selling Pacino short. He was on fire in the 70s'. And Pacino vs Sarandon? Pacino every time.

 

But we can always go with Nicholson, too. Or if we want to go really out there, Michael Caine.

If I hadn't already used him in my own mid-80's Pulp recast, I'd say Warren Beatty would be perfect.

.....

 

The year is 1992. ABC, feeling adventurous after the relative success (albeit ultimate failure) of Twin Peaks, decides to gamble on another risky project. But it doesn't seem like such a gamble when you consider the people involved. In an unprecedented creative move, James L. Brooks joins forces with Steven Bochco in an effort to blend quirky, comedic elements and a family dynamic with gritty crime drama. The resulting collaboration of these TV giants is a smash hit, landmark series that changes the face of television for the 90s and beyond...

 

 

Breaking Bad

(ABC Sunday at 10. 1992 - 1997)

 

The Core Cast

 

Terry O'Quinn as Walter White

terry-oquinn.jpg?d=1024

 

 

Patricia Wettig as Skyler White

b%2526s.jpg

 

James Marshall as Jesse Pinkman

19722324.jpg

 

 

James Gandolfini as Hank Schrader

f_jg01.jpg

 

Elizabeth McGovern as Marie Schrader

220669_large.jpg

 

 

Leonardo DiCaprio as Walter White, Jr

wegg.jpg

 

This is the main cast for Season 1. (1992 - 1993) It bears mentioning that, although he is merely a featured player in several episodes, Tony Plana is a fan favorite as Hank's partner Steve Gomez. Producers consider making him a regular cast member during Season 2 but, due to other commitments, he remains a recurring guest star for the rest of the series. Another notable guest star is Benjamin Bratt as Krazy-8, early in the season, in a powerful story arc that showcases how the series will not be afraid to go to dark places. Also... Jimmy Smits gets much critical acclaim for his portrayal as Tuco Salamanca in a multi-episode arc that concludes the season. It is expected that he will join the cast the following season and become the main antagonist of the series. But that is not to be... More on that presently.

 

The show is a great critical and ratings success. It is nominated for several Emmys (Smits is among the nominees). O'Quinn wins Best Actor in a Dramatic Series (DiCaprio is nominated as Best Supporting actor but doesn't win), while the celebrated pilot gets awarded a writing award (for Brooks and Bochco) as well as a directing award for Gregory Hoblit and cinematography for Alex Thompson.

 

Season 2 (1993 - 1994) sees new additions to the cast.

 

Mark Linn-Baker as Saul Goodman

0.jpg

 

Moira Kelly as Jane Margolis

0908-moira-kelly-with-honors_li.jpg

Peter Riegert as Ted Beneke

Mask17.jpg

 

 

Those are the "series regular" additions. Smits makes some unreasonable salary demands, so the producers decide to cancel plans of making him a regular. Choosing instead to kill him off early in the season... And this development gives them the opportunity to beef up Gandolfini's character, giving him more to do. Also, about half-way through the season, Kelly informs producers that she wants to pursue a burgeoning movie career and wants out of her contract. (She ultimately regrets this decision) They decide to kill her off towards the end of the season and it actually works in the show's favor. Because it allows for them to give more pathos to Marshall's character and take the series in a more interesting direction. Marshall's acting in the second half of the season as a result of this is what most likely brings him his first Emmy nomination. Furthermore... Dean Stockwell, who made several appearances as Jane's father Don Margolis throughout the season, wins an Emmy (Best Performance in a Guest Role) for his work in the shocking finale - his portrayal of a grieving father driven to the edge is considered one of the series' highlights in that season. Pepe Serna is well liked by fans for his role as "Tortuga" - an ill-fated infiormant - and his multi-episode arc is critically acclaimed. Another celebrated guest role and fan favorite is that of Anthony Quinn - as "Tio" Hector Salamanca - who goes on to make several notable guest appearances throughout the series, though never becoming a regular.

 

Season 2 also has the showrunners branching out creatively, when they get William Lustig to direct the episode "Peekaboo," which airs during sweeps week to great ratings and acclaim.

 

There is some concern from the network when DiCaprio is cast in a couple of high-profile films. But neither film is a commercial success and DiCaprio at no point gives any indication that he wants more money or to leave the show.

Season 3 (1994 - 1995) only has two new regular cast additions. And they're actually featured guest stars from Season 2...

Dennis Farina as Mike Ehmantraut

raybones.jpg
 

 

Edward James Olmos as Gustavo Fring

ejo_selena_1.jpg

 

 

Olmos is an interesting case, as he is actually a guest star in a multi-episode arc early in Season 2. This happens shortly after killing off Smits. And producers are thinking about their options. It is briefly considered to offer a staggering figure to Anthony Quinn, while also beefing up his role, to make him the main antagonist. But then Olmos makes it very clear that he had a great time in his guest role and would be very happy to continue working on the series (the recent failure of American Me and a shift to some high-profile TV movies are all a part of this career decision and he sees the role of Fring as a juicy opportunity to make a more vivid comeback) so they bring him back later in the season and negotiate to make him a series regular in year 3.


Other notables for Season 3 include John C. Reilly as Gale Boetticher. This is especially interesting, as there are some contract negotiation issues with James Marshall and the producers consider killing off the character of Jesse Pinkman - with Boetticher being set up as his replacement. Ultimately, they are wise enough to know that would hurt the series so - although Boetticher is a fan favorite due to Reilly's droll portrayal - they settle their issues with Marshall and leave the season on a stunning cliffhanger while deciding what to do next. Boetticher's fate is the water cooler talk of the entire summer, while fans eagerly await Season 4. Another interesting bit of casting comes in the form of Damian Chapa and pop star Ricky Martin as The Salamanca Brothers - two silent pretty boy assassins in a story arc that runs through most of the season. A storyline in Season 3 involves Jesse going to rehab. Robert Englund appears in a recurring guest role as the support group leader. A young up-and-comer named Jennifer Lopez also appears in several episodes as Andrea Cantillo - a new love interest for Jesse. But, as she has also been cast in several upcoming films, the showrunners - fearing another Moira Kelly situation - decide to keep her as a recurring guest with the option to easily write her out of the series if necessary.

 

Love is in the air for Peter Riegert and Patricia Wettig as well, in a very "soap opera" affair plotline that has many fans fearing the show might be "jumping the shark" (even though that term has not been formally invented yet). A big deal is made about the episode "I.F.T", directed by Peter Bogdanovich, in which the word "fuck" will be said for the first time on network television. But that is not enough to make fans care about the storyline in general. Negative reaction to this (and the character of Ted in particular) actually has the showrunners abruptly switch gears and they begin phasing Riegert's character out, announcing he will not be returning for Season 4.

 

Creatively, the show starts taking more risks this season. Brooks starts to take on a much less involved "back seat" producer role. And Richard Price is brought on board to write several episodes. A two-parter called "Fly", directed by David Fincher, wins an Emmy for its writing and is named "the best episode of the 94 - 95 TV season" by most critics.

 

Season 4 (1995 - 1996) has only one new addition...

 

Dennis Haysbert as Tyrus Kitt

7703.gif

 

...who is brought on after the shocking killing of Victor played by a young actor named Michael Peña - during the highly-rated 2-hour premiere "movie" that also solves the water cooler "Boetticher Mystery" by also shockingly killing that character off, much to the dismay of many fans. But fans are pleased a few weeks later when John C. Reilly once again makes an appearance as the character in a couple of episodes with backstory flashbacks. Backstory seems to be the order of the day, as several episodes throughout the season explore the backstories of most of the main characters.

 

Peter Riegert had left the show, but his storyline was never resolved satisfactorily. Although he didn't leave on the best terms, he does agree to come back for a three-episode arc that kills him off. The episode in which Ted dies is an experimental one (styled like a sitcom - complete with canned laughter - and directed by James Burrows). In keeping with the humorous tone of the episode, comedians Bernie Mac and Louis CK guest star, respectively, as Huell and Kuby - two enforcers sent by Saul Goodman to make Ted pay a debt. The gamble pays off and the episode gets good reviews from fans and critics.

 

This season features the greatest creative expansion yet, when Quentin Tarantino, riding high as king of the indie world - and a confessed fan of the show, directs the very well-received "Open House." The two-part "Hermanos," written by Mario Vargas Llosa, explores Gus Fring's backstory and is directed by Martin Scorsese. This episode also introduces the flamboyant character of Don Elodio, played with gusto by Armand Assante. The Don Elodio storyline is ultimately resolved in the action-packed "Salúd", a "special movie event" that airs 90 minutes with no commercials and is directed by Robert Rodriguez.

 

Joel & Ethan Cohen try their hand at TV, when they write and direct the well-received "Crawl Space," towards the end of the season.

 

Throughout the season, there is talk that the series will end. Ratings are higher than ever, but the budget has started to balloon, with their insistence on a movie-like quality for every episode.

 

DiCaprio's rising popularity is also a concern, as he received good notices for his appearance in a Sam Raimi western. That film was not a commercial success... But they want him for a new James Toback-scripted film and he will have to work that, as well as "an MTV Romeo and Juliet" into his schedule for the next year. Producers begin to wonder how to deal with this as he is too sympathetic a character to kill off.

 

All these issues begin to put into question the future of the series.

 

With that in mind, showrunners plan to close the season out in a major way, much like they began - with a 2-hour movie event called "Face Off." Directed by Brian De Palma, the spectacular episode kills off Gus and leaves Mike apparently dead. But, since the episode has a satisfying ending, they consider it can be a proper series finale.

 

What will happen for the '96 - '97 season... Will Breaking Bad return?

 

I guess I'll update this in a couple of years.

 

This deserves to be quoted. Made my day!
