I'm having a hard time coming up with younger actors for the parts. The best I can do so far is:

Blake - Bryan Cranston?
Avon - Michael Fassbender or Jude Law
Villa - Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Renner
Cally - Jessica Chastain, Laura Dern
Tarrant - Liam Hemsworth, Ryan Gosling
Soolin - Emma Stone, Sophie Turner, Emma Roberts
Jenna - Elsa Pataky
Dayna - Zoe Saldana, Meagan Tandy, Zoe Kravitz,
Gan - Abraham Benrubi
Servalan - Morrena Baccarin, Caitriona Balfe

What do you think? Who would you like to see in these roles?

"One of the two characters would almost certainly be changed in this way, I would say."

Despite my love for Blakes7 I wouldn't want to see a movie or a reboot.
What I would like is the FX of the original touched up like in Dr Who releases like 5 Doctors add some new touches and then re-show it to todays audiences.

"Despite my love for Blakes7 I wouldn't want to see a movie or a reboot."

Nor would I. They'd probably just *beep* it up.

However, it can be fun to speculate.

Although I might be open to a sequel with new characters...

"What I would like is the FX of the original touched up like in Dr Who releases like 5 Doctors add some new touches and then re-show it to todays audiences."

Yeah, that's what I've been hoping for.

Did you ever see the job they did on the original STAR TREK?

Yes, just watched an episode, finished it about 75 minutes ago, The Tholian Web, an ok story but the touched up FX gives it more oomph.

Exactly.

So imagine what could be done for BLAKE'S 7.
