This movie really should be remade... who would be a good cast?


With our more indepth knowledge of the human anatomy and the inner wonders and workings of the human body, combined with the nearly infinite possibilities afforded by the advances in special fx, CGI, et al, I think that Fantastic Voyage would be a PRIME candidate for a remake.

I mean, how many old and crummy 70's TV shows can they redo into movies? And for cryin' out loud, we're getting a movie of Fat Albert??? They're talking about a big-screen version of "F Troop"???? They are remaking movies that just came out in the late 70's or 80's... come on, folks, let's take a look at some of the promising SciFi flicks of the 1960's and imagine the possibilities!

Of course, if they were to remake it, I'm sure that Hollywood would probably ruin it anyway. The effects would be great but they'd put in somebody like Reese Witherspoon or (shudder) Jennifer Lopez to play the role of Cora Peterson. Vin Diesel would be Grant... or maybe Keanu Reeves. (Major shudder)

Who do you think would be a good cast?

My ideal cast

Grant - Christian Bale
Cora - Charlize Theron
Dr. Duval - Michael Fassbender
Dr. Michaels - Jeremy Irons
Captain Bill Owens - Cuba Gooding Jr.

simply because I want to see them again, interpreted in a new way, and young people deserve to see the story, and they simply are not going to watch the original.

It doesn't ruin the original, so people need to stop moaning about how bad remakes are. Just don't watch them. The original is still there, and can be seen as many times as anyone wants.

I love the classics, but often can't be bothered to watch them anymore, but I know I'd watch a remake, even if I think it sucks.

agree remake would be a good idea for this movie, for the female role i'd go with Alice Eve
