If this movie was remade now a-days who would you cast as George?


If they kept George as the Heroic Warrior. Who would they cast now a days? Would it be someone with a similar face like maybe Jensen Ackles or Casper Van Dien? Dien might be a little too old to play the role, but Ackles might be able to pull it off. I know we all hate remakes because they're generally worse than the original that they copy off of, but would be interested on who you think could pull off the role of George. You can become creative with this by even changing the roles around and making the female character Cheryl the hero if you want. Kind of like a Ripley Aliens type female hero/heroine character.

I don't think the movie should be remade, we don't want a golden oldie turn into lead ..and look how many lead duplicates are made and forgotten, so much toxic and people still remember the originals..so is it worth the trouble of a remake despite the reason why?

Answer is no..just no, come up with new material for a change to reflect a new generation

If a remake had to be made, I would prefer they stick to the old way and cast Italian actors and dub them in English.
Keep it European. That's one of the things I love about the Demons movies, a bunch of attractive actors whom you've never heard of.

I don't really care for actors. But if a remake were to be made....I say stay in the theater the whole time. Start and end there. Maybe have an ending glimpse at the outside. Keep some iconic moments, but put some original deaths in there too. Keep the motobike scene though. Maybe have our leading lady swing the sword while our man drives. It leaves room for more driving stunts like jumping off the second story or something. And the movie playing? Have the original demons playing, with scenes of the movie in a movie. So the moviegoers are watching a movie about guys watching a movie. Like movinception kind of thing. Up the gore,
more 80s metal and you might have a solid remake.

Probably someone young and good looking that would be considered the model type.

Jensen Ackles, he even looks a bit like George.

I had an idea for a reboot that involved 2 girls studying abroad being handed free tickets to an gala art museum featuring the demonic mask that caused the original outbreak. This time around the virus can spread through cellphones as well as live feeds.

Are you referring to cat videos?
