The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

ATTN: JAMES CAMERON:

USE THE RIGHT DAMN NAME THIS TIME!

I tend to agree. I’m not sure who they’d cast but as this is Michael Mann directing, rather than the sort of hacks who used to direct belated sequels with a whole new cast (think High Noon 2, Splash Too or Scarlett), I trust him to get it right. Though there aren’t too many young DeNiros out there!

I kinda think Austin Butler might be a good fit for Chris (Kilmer). I guess the guy who played young Pacino in The Offer (another Godfather link!) might be an obvious choice, though if they were more interested in just capturing the energy of Pacino’s performance than having a lookalike, I can imagine Christian Bale recreating his OTT shouty performance.

Hmmm, I wonder if I was onto something there or is Bale up for an entirely different role?
