Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant as Spoor & Dowser

I must say that some of the recasting have been top notch. I really liked the Apocalypse now and (surprisingly) the Once Upon a Time in the West recasting.

Point Break

Joseph Gordon Levitt or Ryan Gosling - FBI Agent Johnny Utah

Michael Fassbender - Bodhi

Paul Giamatti - FBI Agent Angelo Pappas

Abbie Cornish - Tyler Endicott

William Fichtner - FBI Director Ben Harp

I heard they are actually doing a Point Break remake, and if they actually used your cast for the two main characters, I will allow it.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Johnny Utah would be the perfect role for Zac Efron to... break into action roles.

Charlie Hunnam as Bodhi, with Josh Holloway as a back up.

 

[axelbratoski]

Charlie Hunnam is a great choice!

 

[Silvermoth]

How did we get so many posts in this thread without covering a real classic!

Henry Cavill as the buff action hero who's fate of the world rests in his hands

Joel Edgerton as Connor MacLeod/Russell Nash.

Liam Neeson as Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez.

I always thought that it would be fun to have a Rome reunion for Highlander with Kevin McKidd as MacLeod and Ray Stevenson as The Kurgan.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

[axelbratoski]

Who plays Nice Guy Eddie?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Wow, Caan is hardly recognizable.

 

[axelbratoski]

I couldn't actually find an actor to play Nice Guy, actually it was the hardest character...

 

[axelbratoski]

Now that I think about it, Sam Rockwell may be a better choice for Pink
