If An Officer And A Gentleman would've been filmed
today instead of 1982, does anybody have any good
ideas on who would be cast? I might see Samuel
Jackson as Foley, but what about the roles of
Mayo, Worley, and their girlfriends?
Jake Gylenhaal would probably get Mayos role, Worley would be Heath ledger and the 2 girls could be katherine Heigl and Emma Roberts
Howzat for casting??!!!

Samuel L Jackson would be awful as Foley. He is too loud and over the top now.
shareThese days? Let's see, I think Hollywood would cast..
The Rock as Foley
Orlando Bloom as Mayo
Rob Schneider as Worley
Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez as the girlfriends.
Yeah that sounds about what I'd expect from Hollywood these days.
LOL. Perfect. Well, almost. Don't you think Shia LeBeouf would get the Mayo part?
shareYes. Samuel L. Jackson would be the perfect Foley and Colin Farrell would be great as Mayo. Although I thought richard Gere was absolutely great as Mayo. Does anybody know if it's true that the role was first offered to John Denver? I never heard that before. I adored him and his music, but I'm not sure if he would have been good as Mayo. Of course, we'll never know. He wasn't cast then and can't be cast now. Johnny Depp is another possibility for Mayo.

I always felt like Annapolis with James Franco tried to imagine itself as a remake of this movie. Or at least an homage. I didn't care much for Annapolis, but I did get a Zack Mayo vibe from Franco.
shareFoley- Laurence Fishburne or Billy Bob Thornton??, Mayo- Christian Bale, Worley- Casey Affleck, Paula- Kirsten Dunst, Lynette- Rose Mcgowan, Paula's mum- Frances Mcdormand.
shareFoley-Morgan Freeman (If he was a LITTLE bit younger) or Samuel L. Jackson
Mayo-
Worley-Aaron Ashmore
Paula-Brittany Murphy (I think she could pull it off and she sounds a LOT like Debra)
Lynette-???
It is easier to critique than create
My perfect cast for it would be
=Josh Hartnett as Mayo
=Emily Blunt as Paula
=Rachel Macadams as Lynette
=Jake Gyllenhaal as Worley
=I don't think there is anyone today who could play
Foley aswell as Louis Gossett Jr. did but I think that
Samuel L Jackson, although he is a fantastic actor, is
a bit of an obvious choice
Brendan Fehr = Mayo (hey, he has an uncanny resemblence to Richard Gere!)
Michelle Monogan = Paula
Shawn Ashmore = Worley
Becki Newton = Lynette
And as for Foley, I'm going to go against the Samuel L Jackson grain and reccommend Andre Braugher, who has proven time and time again in the excellent series, Homicide: Life on the Street, that he is one of the most volatile actors around!
How about Isaiah Washington for Foley? Or is everyone still pissed at him over the Grey's Anatomy thing?
shareYou people are forgetting that these people can't act for sh#$@T
shareDavid Keith's voice did remind me of Heath Ledger's Ennis Del Mar voice. I would have picked Heath Ledger to play Sid, had some remake of this film been made before Ledger's death (and wouldn't it have been bitterly ironic?).
