If you could make a remake, who would you pick for:

Lee's part-Beyonce
Stephanie's part-?
Glenn's part-Brad Pitt
Ross' part= Kevin Spacey

Worst idea ever... or in all seriousness just a bad one.

There's no chance this will ever get remade anyway, it's hardly well-known. Not many people have heard about it. Hollywood only remakes films that have a chance of making money (for the most part).

But seriously, Beyonce?

Oh, my god. I'm in line to see Meryl Streep strip? NO BLOODY WAY!

I agree with you re Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey.

However, I would pick Naomi Watts for Lee's part and Hayden Panettiere for Stephanie's part.

Lee Remick at the time of Experiment in Terror -- 27; Naomi Watts' current age - 45.

That would change the entire point of the movie.

Anyway, for those interested in facts, a Sony remake was announced in 2005. Nothing came of it.

Ripley: Brad Pitt
Kelly Sherwood: Charlize Theron
Toby Sherwood: AnnaSophia Robb
Garland Humphrey "Red" Lynch: Kevin Spacey

Sick idea. And i mean sick in the 'old' sense of the word! Where are you going to find two 'innocent' gals who can PLAY innocent in Hollywood today? HA! [ and remember, Lee Remick played the HOT HOT number two years before in 'Anatomy of a Murder'! ]

I smell crap in the air. Just leave it as a masterpiece and create something new. True Detective did a great job try to top it.
