Recast Untouchable Screen Classics - Part 1

[superman-mos]

The Ghostbusters

Peter Venkman: Jason Sudeikis
Ray Stantz: Alan Tudyk
Egon Spengler: Adam Scott
Winston Zeddemore: Don Cheadle
Janine Melnitz:Zooey Deschanel
Dana Barrett:Anne Hathaway
Louis Tully:Jay Baruchel
Walter Peck: Jason Bateman
Gozer: Tilda Swinton

Sudeikis could nail the character of Venkman without being a Murray impersonation but honestly it was a tie between him and Bateman, just felt like Bateman could do justice as a prick like Peck though. Tudyk isn't well none but loving him in Firefly I felt like he could do Ray justice . Adam Scott is hilarious but his time on Parks and Rec is what made me feel he could really sell Egon. Winston is a little harder because you want someone funny but not a comedian, an everyday kind of person that if you follow the comics and cartoons was also a soldier. Cheadle has that for me , he can be funny but it's not his bread and butter. Hathaway as Dana ? Come on !!

Subway Ghost - John Turturro

I love it.

 

[Schlosser85]

Thanks. The toughest one to come up with was Oda Mae but I think Octavia could pull it off. And if you've ever seen Kings or Political Animals, Sebastian Stan excels as outwardly slick guys who are walking angstfests. He could kill Carl basically spending the whole third act having an extended meltdown. By the scene in the office with all the computers toward the end, I imagine him something like this.

Actually Elba could be really good as Buddy too.
