If This Was Remade ... Who Would You Cast?

Given the first class treatment of an decent film studio, director, writer and cast. Who would you cast in the roles?

RAYFORD STEELE ... DENNIS QUAID. I think he could do really well. He's a good actor and pretty awesome in action movies.

CAMERON "BUCK" WILLIAMS ... NICK STAHL. Awesome talent. He definitely has the look and energy to play Buck.

CHLOE STEELE ... SARAH ROEMER. She is really cute and capable of playing a girl like Chloe. She also has alot of potential to be a good actress.

BRUCE BARNES ... PATRICK WILSON. I think he's perfect for the role.

NICOLAE CARPATHIA ... This is going to be fun. For me it is a multitude of excellent actors who can play this role. One is DANIEL CRAIG, I'm reminded of how great he was in Road to Perdition as the villain or the cold and twisted Lord Azrael from Golden Compass . He'll do awesome in the role. Or maybe even MATTHEW GOODE from Watchmen, he played one really cruel villain in that one.

HATTIE DURHAM ... TRICIA HELFER. I know she is a TV actress, but if there is anyone more worthy to be in this role its her.

These are just the primary characters. There are more, but these are my best picks.

What do you think?

With the exception of Denis Quaid, I don't recognize a single name on this list.

I'm with you on Rayford, Nicolae (Daniel Craig...good idea) and Hattie. Less sure of Buck, Chloe and Bruce. I'd have to think for a while to figure out who I'd want, though.

Rayford Steele - Thomas Gibson

Buck Williams - Sean Murray

Chloe Steele - Elisha Cuthbert

Bruce Barnes - not sure

Nicolae Carpathia - Russell Crowe

Hattie Durham - Tricia Helfer

If we were going by the books:

Steve Plank - Jerry Orbach would have been my first choice, but I could see Anthony Lapaglia in that role.

Leon Fortunato - Liam Neeson

This film should not be remade.
It should not have been made in the first place.

It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.

Zachary Levi as Buck

or Michael Weatherly as Buck

as for Chloe, my top 3 picks:

Phoebe Tonkin as Chloe

Emmy Rossum from Phantom of the opera movie

or Nikita tv star Lyndsy Fonseca

as Chloe

I agree with the OP's list with one exception:

Hattie Durham: laura vandervoort

She is EXACTLY how I imagined Hattie - and she is smoking hot!

now that would be 2 cool casting calls

[–] grifprod 13 years ago

okay, Dennis Quiad is spot on for Rayford Steele (he is very underrated as an actor)...Tricia Helfer as Hattie also a great choice, Patrick Wilson is excellent too. For Buck Williams? anybody but Kirk Cameron (nothing against, he just seemed too goody goody for the part and Buck was a maverick magazine writer) Nick Stahl a good choice, but i think he maybe too old now. Chloe, I have no idea. Matthew Goode as Nicholae would be prefect.

Stanley Tucci as Steve Plank
Russell Brand as Dirk
Billy Bob Thornton as Ken Ritz
