with a better director. Someone like Michael Mann or Christopher Nolan. Ed Norton and Benecio Del Toro should star.

Keep it black, black leading man like Taye Diggs or Blair Underwood. Ed Norton would never come off well as a politician and as for Benicio, gimme a break. He could play a corrupt campaign manager if anything

I just don't see anyone topping John Lithgow, he's the best.

Gary Oldman? =)

I think a remake in another ten years ori so would be good. Lithgow nailed the cross between rage/psychosis/camp perfectly and os could Oldman. I'd personally like to see the gloss wiped off and the movie be made as it really should've been. Graphic novelesque. Campy. Ultraviolent.

As much as I liked this movie, I could see a remake. I don't know who would play Nick Styles, but the only person I think could do justice to Lithgow's role is Gary Oldman.

I think John Malkovich could top Lithgow (see Con Air, In the Line of Fire, etc.)

You do know that Ricochet is (unoficially) a remake itself, of Cape Fear?

This film doesn't need a remake; it's fine the way it is.

Law Abiding Citizen was sort of a remake.
