Though I believe that Hollywood’s latest trend of remaking classics is plainly a statement that, especially in the genre of westerns, they just no longer have the gumption to attempt a western that is new. But instead are relying on the classics from the past to bring fans of the genre back to the theater.
With that being said; if a remake of this movie is inevitable my list of actors that I would enjoy seeing in this film is:
Bruce Willis, Robert Downy Jr, Tom Selleck, Hugh Jackman, Chris Evans, and finally Josh Duhamel (who though typecast as a pretty boy is an actor who could defiantly rise to the occasion).
That for me that would be a cast that I would love to see working together in any movie even if it is a remake of a classic.
I could see that. Willis would be Chris, Downey could do the Bronson role, Jackman the James Coburn role, Evans maybe the Bucholz role, Duhamel the Robert Vaughn role and Selleck the McQueen role. All you need is someone to play Harry, the role played by Brad Dexter. Maybe Jeff Bridges for that one.
