[Eddie Dean]

2014, I would think.

 

[gwynplaine]

Just playing around with this great thread's concept.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I have no problem with it.

Wow, I think that's the fastest a page has filled up on this thread ever.

 

[Jordacar]

2014, I would think.

I only ask because there's totally an awesome thread for recasting untouchable film classics. Not that I'm picky about keeping things in their place or anything.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (1975)

Nick Nolte - Captain America

Beat me to it, though I was gonna try and spin out of Drizzle's Avengers cast from earlier in the thread.

The Avengers 1975

 

[Eddie Dean]

I'd still love to see yours!

 

[Drizzle]

Dear God, that last page was full of win. I think I need a cigarette after going through all of those.

Die Hard

Robert Mitchum as John McClane

James Mason as Hans Gruber

Shelley Winters as Holly

 

[gwynplaine]

Not a movie but still a classic.

Breaking Bad

Harry Dean Stanton - Walter White

Jackie Earle Haley - Jesse Pinkman

Jill Clayburgh - Skyler

Gene Hackman - Hank

Elliott Gould - Saul Goodman

 

[gwynplaine]

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (1975)

Nick Nolte - Captain America

Perfect choice, even better than young Robert Redford

 

[Eddie Dean]

Nolte is a bit of a monster these days, but damn, he was once was grade-a beef.

Goodfellas

James Cagney - Henry Hill

Humpfrey Bogart - James Conway

Edward G. Robinson - Tommy DeVito

Virginia Mayo - Karen Hill

 

[Sawyer]

Not a movie but still a classic.

Breaking Bad

Harry Dean Stanton - Walter White

Jackie Earle Haley - Jesse Pinkman

Jill Clayburgh - Skyler

Gene Hackman - Hank

Elliott Gould - Saul Goodman

The only way I can imagine recasting Breaking Bad would be with Robin Williams as Walt. And considering he wasn't much older than Cranston, I really don't think an early 2000s recast would be all that worthwhile...

Maybe Giovanni Ribisi as Jesse, though... I'll give it some thought.
