Recast Your Favorite Movies - 2011 Edition! - Page 35

No thanks on John Hillcoat getting anywhere near The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, but I respect the effort, and some of the choices are spot fucking on.

 

Also, with the Olympics coming up I figured I'd ask- anyone else think Robert Maillet could be related to Michael Phelps?

 

 

Out of Sight (1973)

Directed by John Boorman

 

Jack Foley-Robert Redford

 

 

 

Karen Sisco-Faye Dunaway

 

 

 

Buddy Bragg-Jim Brown

 

 

 

Glenn Michaels-Michael J. Pollard

 

 

 

Maurice "Snoopy" Miller-Lou Gossett Jr

 

 

 

Richard Ripley-Hal Holbrook

 

 

 

Marshall Sisco-Robert Stack

 

 

 

Chino-Geoffrey Lewis

 

 

 

Kenneth-Ron O'Neal

 

 

 

Ray Nicolette-Burt Reynolds

 

 

 

Hejira Henry-Yaphet Kotto

 

No Country for Old Men (1960)

 

Joel McCrea - "Sheriff Ed Tom Bell"

 

 

Charlton Heston - "Llewelyn Moss"

 

 

Yul Brynner - "Anton Chigurh"

 

 

James Coburn - "Carson Wells"

 

 

Lee Remick - "Carla Jean Moss"

 

 

Warren Oates - "Deputy Wendell"

 

I tried to do it myself, but I couldn't.  So, I challenge the board to make an all Hispanic Daredevil.

 

DAREDIABLO!

 

Not bad, but I'd go Fred Williamson (or an against type Roundtree) for Snoop.

 

<Thinking about it, I get the choice of Gossett tho, I just love picturing Williamson or Roundtree getting a shot at an a picture>

El Diablo Desafio
Written and Directed by Pedro Almodovar

Cast:
Gael Garcia Bernal-Matt Murdock/Daredevil
Diego Luna-Bullseye
Javier Bardem-Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin
Genesis Rodriguez-Elektra
Antonio Banderas -Jack Murdoch
Javier Camdara-Foggy Nelson

Honestly probably this movie cast make more sense with Alfonso Cuaron, but I'd love to see how Almodovar would approach doing a superhero movie and apart from Spiderman, Daredevil has the most melodrama of any superhero. Any this is my idea for it a little unsure about Rodriguez for Elektra but she's hot enough and has that sexy mysterious look needed for the character unlike Jennifer Garner.

That "Out of Sight" is great. Now who wants to do the 80s version starring Kurt Rusell and Michelle Pfeiffer?

Cattyshack (2012)

 

Tyra Webb – Elizabeth Banks

 

Alice Czervik – Melissa McCarthy

 

Judge Smails – Jane Lynch

 

Carol Spackler – Amy Poehler

 

Dani Noonan – Bree Larson

 

Marty O’Hooligan – Matthew Lewis

 

Silk Underall – Channing Tatum

I almost went for Williamson but i just watched JD's Revenge about a month ago and Gossett has the best energy for the role IMO.

Forget Len Wiseman, here's the real deal -

 

Total Recall

Directed by Duncan Jones

 

Sam Rockwell - "Douglas Quaid"

 

 

Naomie Harris - "Melina"

 

 

John Slattery - "Vilos Cohaagen"

 

 

Walton Goggins - "Richter" 

 

 

Charlize Theron - "Lori"

 

 

I like Russell but I prefer his Tequila Sunrise co-star for this 80's recast.

 

 

Out of Sight (1989)

Directed by George Armitage 

 

Jack Foley-Mel Gibson

 

 

Karen Sisco-Michelle Pfeiffer

 

 

 

Buddy Bragg-Delroy Lindo

 

 

 

Glenn Michaels-Chris Elliott

 

 

 

Maurice "Snoopy" Miller-Laurence Fishburne

 

 

 

Richard Ripley-Robert Wuhl

 

 

 

Marshall Sisco-Danny Aiello

 

 

 

Chino-Cheech Marin

 

 

 

Kenneth-Samuel L.Jackson

 

 

 

Ray Nicolette-Ed Harris

 

 

 

Hejira Henry-Morgan Freeman

 

Anakin Skywalker should have been Leonardo Dicaprio. He looks like Jake Loyd and is a terrific actor. Just imagine him swining a lightsaber!

Much better! Especially now that we know Jones can do action. Rockwell's video to himself ("don't worry, it's self-guiding") would be a hoot. And I've always had a thing for Naomi Harris - fine actress and a beautiful woman. Why isn't she a superstar?

 

I like this one all except for Wuhl. Woody Allen, maybe? Or my famous Bob Newhart for Brooks recast.

Flash Gordon

Directed by Brad Bird

Written by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish

Original Score and Songs by The Darkness

 

Mike Vogel - "Flash Gordon"

 

"Flash Gordon. Quarterback. New York Jets."

 

 

Anna Kendrick - "Dale Arden"

 

"Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!"

 

 

Bill Nighy - "Dr. Hans Zarkoff"

 

"Don't empty my mind! I've spent my whole life filling it!"

 

 

Ciaran Hinds - "Ming the Merciless" 

 

"I like to play with things a while before annihilation."

 

 

Maggie Q - "Princess Aura"

 

"No! Not the bore worms!"

 

 

Oscar Isaac - "Prince Barin"

 

"I knew you were up to something, though I'll confess I never thought of necrophilia!"

 

 

Ray Stevenson - "Prince Vultan"

 

"GORDON'S ALIVE!!!"

 

 

Michael Sheen - "Klytus"

 

"No one - but NO ONE - dies in the Palace without a command from the Emperor."

 

 

Triva

• Originally developed as a vehicle for Edgar Wright, who had to bow out due to scheduling conflicts with Ant-Man.
• Werner Herzog turned down the role of Hans Zarkoff. 
• Terry Crews was considered for the role of Prince Vultan. 
• The Darkness was the only choice to provide music for the movie.

I dunno man, Muse would have a pretty strong claim on doing the toonage for that one as well. 

 

I'm gonna be a snoot here and say I like it, i really do, but I like mine from a few pages back more.

The Matrix (1984)

Directed by David Cronenberg

Written by William Gibson

Music by Tangerine Dream

 

Christopher Walken - "Neo"

 

 

Isaac Hayes - "Morpheus" 

 

 

Debbie Harry - "Trinity"

 

 

Micheal Ironside - "Agent Smith"

 

 

William S. Burroughs - "The Architect"

 

Heh. The logical follow up to VIDEODROME!

I think you need an Oracle and not an architect, if that is a remake of the first Matrix. You also need a bunch more crew members!

 

Cicely Tyson?

AMC's Glengarry Glen Ross

 

Dir. Matthew Weiner

 

John Slattery- Ricky Roma

 

 

 

Jeffrey DeMunn- Shelley Levene

 

 

 

Dean Norris- Dave Moss

 

 

 

Mark Moses- George Aaronow

 

 

 

 

 

Bryan Cranston- John Williamson

 

 

 

Brent Sexton- James Lingk

 

 

 

 

with Jon Hamm as Blake

 

Rosemary's Baby (2014)
Directed by Darren Aronofsky

Cast:

Elizabeth Olson: Rosemary Woodhouse
Joseph Gordon Levitt: Guy Woodhouse
Meryl Streep: Minnie Castevet
Martin Sheen: Roman Castevet/ Steven Marcato
Colin Firth: Hutch
Dustin Hoffman: Dr. Abraham Sapirstein

I dig, but if I may make a suggestion: switch Cranston to Shelly (although Lemon is older than everyone in the film, there's nothing in the play to suggest that Levine has that many years on the rest of the cast), make Vincent Kartheiser Williamson. I'd love to see Giancarlo Espisito in there too, but I don't know who he would play.

Howard Hawks' BROKEN ARROW (1941)

 

Cary Grant as USAF Major Vic "Deak" Deakins

 

Jimmy Stewart as USAF Captain Riley Hale

 

Rosalind Russell as Park Ranger Terry Carmichael

 

Jimmy Stewart: You're out of your mind.
Cary Grant: Yeah. Ain't it cool?
Jimmy Stewart: I'm serious, Deak, your mind has taken a walk off the map.
Cary Grant: Maybe. But I'm still gonna kick your ass

 

Just imagine the moral panic that would ensue. You'd have patriots earmarking him as one of the Japs' best friends.

I am sitting here playing out that Stewart/Grant convo in my mind....awesome!

Martin Scorsese's Pulp Fiction (1984) 

"You won't know the facts until you've seen the fiction"

 

  Harvey Keitel as Vincent Vega

"Oh man. I shot Marvin in the face."

 

 

  Sy Richardson as Jules Winnfield

"English, motherfucker, do you speak it?."

 

 

  Nick Nolte as Butch Coolidge

"Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead."

 

 

 Michelle Pfeiffer as Mia Wallace

"I want that trophy, so dance good."

 

 

  Bill Duke as Marcellus Wallace

"In the fifth, your ass goes down. Say it."

 

 

 Willem Dafoe as Pumpkin

"Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!."

 

 

  Frances McDormand as Honey Bunny

"Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you!."

 

 

  Gene Hackman as The Wolf

"I'm Winston Wolfe. I solve problems.."

 

 

  Jeff Bridges as Lance

"Hey! Mi casa, su casa."

 

 

  Michael Keaton as Jimmie Dimmick

"Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?."

 

 

  with Marlon Brando as Captain Koons

"I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years."

 

 

  and Martin Scorsese as Buddy Holly

"Burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell?."

 

 

Trivia

• Marlon Brando agreed to the role of Captain Koons only on assurance that he would be paid a large sum for what amounted to a small part. Brando showed up to the studio on the single day of shooting without having read the script and improvised all his speech.
• The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won four. It won the Best Picture, Best Actor (for Harvey Keitel), Best Film Editing and Best Original Screenplay awards. 
• Michael Douglas, Burt Reynolds and Christopher Walken auditioned for Vincent Vega but Scorsese promised the role to Harvey Keitel, who acted in Mean Streets and Taxi Driver. Keitel would go to win the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance. 
• Actors like Louis Gossett Jr and Richard Roundtree auditioned for Jules Winnfield but their auditions were overshadowed by Sy Richardson's. Richardson got an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performance .

Spencer Tracy - "Oliver Queenan"

 

 

James Robertson Justice - "Frenchy"

 

 

 

Robert Ryan - "George Ellerby"

 

Love Keitel as Jules. I can very much picture him saying that line. Also love the level of detail you've put in.

 

This inspired me to post something I'd been thinking about for a while. Imagine it being shot on a break from filming, with used sets and costumes, on a lark.

Jared Harris as Wadsworth

Two recasts revisited...

 

Reservoir Dogs (2012)

 

Liam Neeson as Mr White

 

 

Ryan Gosling as Mr Orange

 

 

Sharlto Copley as Mr Pink

 

 

Sam Rockwell as Mr Blonde

 

 

Giovanni Ribisi as Nice Guy Eddie Cabot

 

 

Albert Finney as Joe Cabot

 

 

with Dennis Farina as Mr Blue

 

 

and James Franco as Mr Brown

 

 

I didn't want to do an A-Team reunion with the casting of Neeson and Copley but, in my opinion, they are the best choices for Mr White and Mr Pink and while I tried, I couldn't find better choices. Also, as you may notice, in my original Reservoir Dogs recast I had Rockwell as Pink, but then I realized he fits the psycho Vega better than the neurotic Mr Pink.

with Julianne Moore as June

 

 

and Zach Galifianakis as the Street Pick-Up Guy

I'd enjoy the After Hours recast if so many of my ideas hadn't been repurposed.

I don't have the knowledge or patience, but does anyone want to take a crack at a Laff-A-Lympics update featuring all Cartoon Network and/or Nickelodeon stars?  I'll settle for "Story By...." credit.  

 

As far as I know, the only one of your choices I used is Jon Hamm as Tom.

Just saw Your Sister 's Sister and really loved it reminded if Ingmar Bergman made an indie mumblecore movie, If that makes sense. Now I thought it would be interesting to cast the movie as Hollywood would.......
