(in order of who I think the film makers would want)
Hawke - Tom Cruise/Christian Bale/Josh Brolin/Ethan Hawke/Josh Hartnett (who looks slot like JMV)
Santini - Sam L Jackson
Archangel- Robert Redford/Harrison Ford/Bruce Willis/Liam Neeson/Tommy Lee Jones
Moffett - Ben Kingsley/AHopkins/Jeremy Irons/Brian Cox/Tim Dalton
Sinjin - Any of the Hawke potentials
Some pretty good choices, but since the chopper is the real star you wouldn't need big names, some hungry up and comers would do. Plus I would rather see a continuation than a remake. Have some distant relative of Santini or Archangel designing a new version of Airwolf, only to have it stolen by some evil Saudi billionaire who plans to mass produce it and give it to terrorists, so our hero puts together a team to steal it back, and fight their way out of enemy territory.
shareI think Tom Cruise is too charismatic and affable to play Hawke. Hawke is a quiet reckloose-loner. The opposite of about everything we've seen Tom Cruise do. Josh Brolin or Josh Hartnett are good choices though!
I never would've thought to cast Samuel L. Jackson as Santini. But he is a great choice! I would've went with Robert Duvall, tho I think he would be too old to do it now.
