Ideal Casting for a Remake


Now before everybody goes beserk about the idea of a remake, (I know almost 100% of the time the original movie cannot be bettered), let's just have a little fun. I wanted to update the casting of the two female leads. Just so you know, I thought Debra Winger and Theresa Russell were great in their roles. They are what make "Black Widow," such a great watch. Both of their performances were almost perfect! Anyway, in a modern, imagined remake, how about Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie? I don't have to tell anyone who should play who. Don't worry, because this casting and remake will never happen, but I thought it was a fun thought. I think it could have had some potential, as long as the performances from both of them were spot on. Could anyone else see this?

Jennifer no.

"Jennifer no" is right! She simply can't pull off a thriller.

Yes I could! Angelina would make the perfect mysterious, seductive Black Widow, and Jennifer has the smart, funny nature perfect for Alex. Talk about a tense set, though, they'd have to hire Jen and Angie Wranglers to break up the brawls.:)

definitely a fun idea!
or, going back in time, how about another "rivalry," Bette Davis & Joan Crawford

I can't think of anything less interesting than a movie pitting Jennifer Annison against Angelina Jolie. What an absolutely uninspired casting choice you've come up with.
