Billy Ray Cyrus as Davy Crockett!

If they cast Billy Ray as Davy Crockett, someone will be dead. The only Davy Crockett in my mind is Fess Parker

Although I detest the current vogue of casting the latest flash-in-the-pan celebrity dejour in films, I have to agree with you that Billy Ray actually would be a very good choice for a modern Davy Crocket (a generation ago I might have suggested Willie Nelson).

The one thing I would caution against is making this new version too hip, young and urban. Don't trade off the gee-whiz-golly aspects of the original for a lot of wise-cracking or hip dialogue.

If there are any songs tobe sung, make them organic to the story; don't just track them in or worse yet, make them MTV video segments.

And do,please, try tomaintain at least some semblence of dignity as far as staging goes. I know that historical accuracy will likely be an afterthought, but they should at least TRY to remember that Davy Crocket was a 1830's woodsman.
