If a Remake is done, who'd play Donna?

Assuming the remake is set in the same time (80s) or it is in modern times and she has "no signal" or something lame like that on her cell phone who do you think would be a good choice to play Donna? I ask this because although I am not saying I want a remake, as I was watching this again I couldn't help but think that Radha Mitchell would be perfect for the role if a remake were to be done. what do you think (about Radha plaing the mom, not simply about a remake)?

I have a completely logical way to take care of the cell phone thing. Donna and Tad would be zooming along in the car and Tad is fiddling with the phone, flipping it open and closed, and BOOM! It flies out the window and smashes into the highway. End of phone. They proceed onward to the Camber's house.

Donna from That 70's Show would be perfect to play Donna :)
I'm not trying to be cute here.. Really she fits my mental image of the cujo book.
Radha would be fine.. it's just her accent that would probably ruin the movie for me..

On That 70's Show, she started out with red hear and became blonde. In the movie, she'd start out as a blonde and turn into a redhead (when she gets all that blood on her hair). Laura Prepon

I can't imagine anyone other than Dee Wallace in the role of Donna. She was so excellent in this movie that it would just feel awkward to watch anyone else try.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.
