We have our list of films we want to ReCast! and remake….what are some of your thoughts on films ripe for ReCast!? Do you have any untouchables?
Here is a list of some potential untouchable films in many people’s eyes:
- Casablanca
- Gone With the Wind
- Mary Poppins
- Jaws
- Star Wars: A New Hope & sequels (We ALL want to ReCast the prequels!!! 🙂 )
- Schindler’s List
- The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Some Like It Hot
- The Dark Knight
- Goodfellas
- The Godfather
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- The Wizard of Oz
- The Shining
- Psycho
- West Side Story
- The Natural
Again, nothing here will EVER be off limits. We welcome all constructive comments…but those above might have some strong opinions one way or the other. Do you have any untouchables? Are there any “perfect” films in your DVD/Blu-ray collection?
I admit…my guilty pleasure of a perfect film…The Fifth Element. But we’ll get to that in another post.
ReCast! - Your Casting Calls and Remakes! 
Oh, I would Recast The Wizard of Oz in a heartbeat!
….and here we go!
Dorothy- Hailee Steinfeld (sure she is new but why not she’s got the acting chops)
The Scarecrow- Javier Bardem
The Tin Man- Stephen Merchant
The Cowardly Lion- Zach Galifianakis or Pruitt Taylor Vince (just cause I always dig him)
The Wicked Witch of the West- Dame Judy Dench
Glinda- Kristin Chenoweth (yeah I know she has played it, and when she did she was bloody perfect)
OZ- Michael Shannon
I tend to go a little less “Studio” with my choices but I still feel they are main stream, if you don’t like them, then by all means, PLEASE let us know!
Tell us who YOU would Recast!
I like Galifianakis! Question…are we required to call her “Dame” now? like even in a blog site? The Royal Guards going to hunt us down if we don’t?
They are like pay toilets… they aren’t always around, but it stinks when they are!!! Wait? Who???
