Who would be perfect for a remake?


I think Jennifer Aniston (Helen),Nicole Kidman (Madeline), Jason Statham (Ernest) and... Isabella Rossellini(Lisle Von Rhuman)

Puleaseeee...well almost every remake sucks so that will sort that out...

If they ever do a remake, then the scene with Lisle's party should be huge and part of the climax, imagine Elvis getting shot and then him killing David Bowie, what too soon? *beep* that!!!!! Go crazy with this film!

I would cast the following actors:

Angelina Jolie - Madeline
Amy Adams - Helen
Tom Hardy - Ernest
Margot Robbie - Lisle (Playing a 60 year old woman)
Alec Baldwin - Emergency Room Doctor

Amy Adams is very good, Tom Hardy as Ernest? Hmmm he's pretty versatile, bet he would like a role like that haha

If they do a remake I don't want them to redo the Original story, like what Jurassic World was to Jurassic Park... it's sort of a remake but still a sequel.

Interesting on not going the full-remake route...

I personally would prefer a more straightforward remake, but not a carbon copy...

It must have new stuff... maybe with 1 or 2 plot twists... but basically the same story, since the original wasn't as popular as the Jurassic Park franchise and almost 25 years have gone by since the original.

I don't see it happening anytime soon though, no Zemeckis film has gone the remake/reboot route, not even more likely/accessible properties like Romancing The Stone and Roger Rabbit.

Madeline - Rachel McAdams or Naomi Watts
Helen - Reese Witherspoon, Amy Adams, or Bryce Dallas Howard
Ernest - Hugh Jackman
Lisle Von Rhuman - Olivia Wilde, Eva Green, or Morena Baccarin
Dakota - Taylor Kitsch

I wasn't fussed on anyone's suggestions, but you hit the nail on the head with Eva Green as Lisle!

Neither! It doesn't need to be re made its fine the way it is
