How would you want to play Jessica in a re-make


If they would really start filming a re-make of Logan's Run who would you want to play Jessica? For me there are three choices. Either one would make a great Jessica. They are Bonnie Wright, Jennifer Lawrence or Anne Hathaway. Who are yours.

Heck, I wouldn't care, as long as she was attractive enough and could play the part and was a good competent actress.

Ellen Page, she is in the age bracket and she is a really good actress

As much as I am anti-remake, this is one of the few movies where I think the concept is so good it could be updated and modified for contemporary audiences. I'm kind of amazed it HASN'T been remade yet.

I have no idea who I'd want to cast in the update, but I could certainly see Alicia Vikander being in the running and Domhnall Gleeson being offered the role of Logan.

Revenge is the most important meal of the day.

reply

Alicia Vikander, Marie Avgeropoulos, Ana de Armas

I can't for the life imagine Domnhall Gleeson playing a brutal killer. Will Poulter, perhaps.

The restitution of life is no great feat. A variety of deaths may well enter into your punishment

Beyond just who to cast, I wouldn't mind a remake that puts more emphasis on why they don't just let people run. Sandmen who actually feel that runners are a detriment to society. More emphasis on them protecting their culture and less of them killing because 'that's what they do.'

If it was ME directing the remake, I would explore how betrayed the Francis character felt. Here was Logan, a guy he thought was his friend, a guy he thought he could trust, going against the very fabric of everything they worked their entire lives to maintain.



Also, a Jessica with a great rack.

Jessica Chastain



so many movies, so little time

I wouldn't let Jennifer Lawrence ruin a great film like this. Anyone else is fine. Has to be someone innocent looking and preferably ok w/topless/nude. Rebecca Hall type, but younger. Daisy Ridley, Alicia Vikander, Amy Adams, Adèle Exarchopoulos would be top picks...or a no name actress.

Jennifer Lawrence
Keira Knightley
Chloë Grace Moretz
Bianca Lawson
Emma Watson
Emma Stone
Amanda Seyfried
Antonia Thomas
Ellen Page

As For Logan

Mark Walberg
Ryan Reynolds
Liam Hemsworth
Daniel Radcliffe
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Bradley Cooper

Jessica 6 = Jenny Agutter, one of the most fresh and naturally beautiful young starlets of the 70's who could also act. Miss Agutter never had a problem with nudity either. See all of her British schoolgirl charms in Nicolas Reog's classic "Walkabout".
