I had a modern-day recasting idea for this with Daniel Craig as Mr. Blue, but I could not pin down a good Mr. Grey.

Craig as Mr. Blue sounds awesome .

Mr. Grey is tough .
I also had a bit of trouble thinking of someone who would be comparable to a young Hector Elizondo in the 1940s.

You're cast is great ..

I almost went with Hitchcock Alum Farley Granger as Exley at first .

But then I thought of Clift as well, and he just seemed to fit perfectly.
He also reminded me alot more of Guy Pierce as well.

I gotta say, I didn't realize how old this thread was since I only discovered it within the past few months and have been posting in it since.

I've got go back to the beginning and check out the past castings.

That's a fantastic multicultural cast for 57s
Love the rest, although he's no Rock Hudson(I see the chin your looking for) , how about for Chakotay
John Gavin (John Anthony Golenor Pablos) at least half Mexican.

Or Abel Fernandez, Mexican Native Yaqui American (was "Bill" Youngfellow in The Untouchables)

Thanks .

It's interesting you bring up Gavin, because I thought about him for the part at first ,but I didn't know if he had gotten any parts as early as 1957. I know him more from his 1960s work.

I've never heard of Bill Youngfellow before, but he also looks like he'd be good for the role as well.

Both of your choices for Chakotay would have been awesome .
