Very nice star wars and Indiana jones fan casts. Except I don't like Jamie bell for luke

 

[Dave McFly]

Back to the Future

Andrew Garfield or Anton Yelchin as Marty McFly

Kelsey Grammer or Robin Williams as Doc Brown

Michael Angarano as George McFly

Michelle Tratchenberg as Lorraine Baines

Jesse Plemons as Biff McTannen

Robin Williams probably would have made an excellent Doc Brown.

Michael Chiklis as Mr. Strickland

as much as I would NEVER want a BTTF remake I have to admit some of that casting is pretty good mainly Marty and Doc, I just hope to god it never happens .

Alien

Solid casting! My only hesitation would be Mark Strong as Ash. The dude has been typecast as a villain so it'd be easy to see his character becoming bad from miles away.

I love your choices here. The only think I would change is Jeff Bridge as Obi Wan. He's too great of a legend to only feature him for a small scene in one movie. Plus Obi Wan should be older.

Jeff Bridges is awesometacular, no doubts...but I wouldn't go so far as to call him a legend. I certainly agree about freaturing him in a small scene but I also would love to see more of an emphasis put on Luke and Uncle Owen's relationship. I could care less when I see his and Aunt Beru's burning corpses in the original movie. If "A New Hope" were to be remade it would certainly need to be more fleshed out.

As for Obi Wan being older...it's amazing what Hollywood can do with make-up now-a-days

Very nice star wars and Indiana jones fan casts. Except I don't like Jamie bell for luke

Reason I chose him is that he's a solid actor, has a good look (especially when paired with Emma Watson), and most importantly...he conveys an innocence that other actors just can't. I'm sure there are other actors out there that could play Luke as well, but I just couldn't think of any at the time. I'd love to hear some suggestions though!

 

[Wolfwood]

This could be an interesting thread.

Jaws...
Chief Martin Brody - Joaquin Phoenix
Sam Quint- Javier Bardem
Matt Hooper - Masi Oka (Whatever happened to that guy?)
Mayor Larry Vaughn - John Goodman
Ellen Brody - Michelle Phifer

Strangely enough I can easily picture Masi Oka as Hooper. Really good call there.

 

[Silvermoth]

Wow. Lots of great ideas ITT.

Yeah I know what you mean! When I first came in this thread I thought it would degenerate into a "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY FAVOURITE MOVIES" thread but I'm so glad people are having fun with the idea.

Mary Poppins- Rebecca Hall
Bert- David Tennant
Mr Banks- Mark Strong
Mrs Banks- Romala Garai
Admiral Boom - Patrick Stewart

[Eddie Dean]

In honor of Christmas -

Lethal Weapon

Josh Holloway - Riggs

Jeffrey Wright - Murtaugh

Chris Cooper - The General

Kevin Durand - Mr. Joshua

 

[axelbratoski]

Great! I was thinking in Don Cheadle as Murtaugh but Wright works great!

 

[axelbratoski]

Vertigo

Daniel Craig as John "Scottie" Ferguson

January Jones as Judy Barton / Madeleine Elster

Emily Mortimer as Midge Wood

Gary Oldman as Gavin Elster

EDIT: Michelle Williams also would be a great Judy / Madeleine (thanks Eddie Dean)

 

[Eddie Dean]

Good cast except for January Jones. Yuck. Maybe Michelle Williams instead?

 

[axelbratoski]

Ghostbusters

Joel McHale as Peter Venkman

Jason Segel as Ray Stantz

Bill Hader as Egon Spengler

Mos Def as Winston Zeddmore

Jay Baruchel as Louis Tully

Zooey Deschanel as Janine Melnitz

 

[axelbratoski]

Wow! Michelle Williams is an amazing choice!

 

[Donnie Darko]

Beetlejuice

Jason Bateman as Adam Maitland

Amy Adams as Barbara Maitland

Sam Rockwell as Betelgeuse

Hugh Laurie as Charles Deetz

Catherine Tate as Delia Deetz

Saoirse Ronan as Lydia Deetz

Wayne Knight as Otho

Maggie Smith as Juno

That's great. My only change would MAYBE be putting (can't remember actor's name) Cam from "Modern Family" as Otho. I was watching Beetlejuice not that long ago, and I jut kept picturing him in that role and giggling.

 

[axelbratoski]

I forgot about that guy, he is PERFECT for Otho!

 

[Eddie Dean]

Rockwell is a great choice, but I think Walton Goggins would be an even better choice.

 

[axelbratoski]

I've never seen Goggins in anything but judging by looks he seems okay.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Tango and Cash

Dwayne Johnson - Ray Tango

Chris Evans - Gabriel Cash

Vinnie Jones - Requin
