Ok, cast a remake, here.

I know the first writer cut "THE ROCK" out i think he may be the best choice due to his build,ethnic make-up and most importantly he can still draw moviegoers regardless of his past film flops.Any remakes would have to be brought into future.Doc Savage was a science detective first and foremost, mind over fists.Doc was result of decades of breeding and training to create basically a weapon for justice.Arnold is too old, Statham is close but the not quite right.Doc's team should be younger between 20-35 years old and be high-tech doppelgangers of the novels heroes.For example-Monk Mayfair was a chemist-now a genetech/nano-tech , what has to be avoided is the crappy stereotypes like the extreme sports freak[johnny storm of last years F.F]or nerdy-brainy-virgin.These guys fight in and on Wall Street and high tech research labs as well court rooms and corporate boardrooms before boxing and whatever after work!Imagine STEVE JOBS and BILL GATES fighting crime!The Rock also dislikes guns in his films much the way Doc uses non-lethal weapons and the CRIME COLLEGE to help former convicts.I'm sorry but I am a fan of the film and the novels and would like to see Doc and the boys done right even if it is a re-imaging of the source material.

because you are a perv like the rest of us lol

Yes, yes, yes thetheeyecreature! My thoughts exactly! A CGI reworking of some of the more popular Doc Savage books would work splendidly. That way you'd be able to see all those great characters that Lester Dent(aka Kenneth Robeson) created for the books(although if you get a look at the images on the back of the early Bantam paperbacks Doc looks way older than the writings describe him).

Each character is basically a caricature of reality. After all, take one of Doc's companions, Renny, his hands have to be out of proportion to the rest of his body(as do Monk's arms) so it's going to be difficult to find an actor with big hands(or, again, as in the case of Monk, long arms). A CGI animated reworking(as in 'Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within') would eliminate that then all the filmmakers have got to do is find the appropriate voice to go with the character.

Also don't forget Doc's trilling sound that he makes when he's startled or disturbed. I recently heard a radio serial(I got it on a CD) of a Doc Savage serial(Fear Cay) and it sounded like someone playing a penny whistle! They've got to get that right, at least, whether it's live action or CGI.

Yes, a CGI reworking of the books would be the right way to go! How about trying to persuade a production company like Pixar or Dreamworks to pick up the CGI option, huh?
