You have the power to remake movies

Submitted by Nossirom t3_11d0emw in movies

So, you suddenly find yourself with the ability to remake reality. Rather than doing something useful, you just create alternate timelines and realities with movies that have bonkers casting choices.

What kind of crazy casting choices would you make? You can uses performers from any time period and cast them in any movie. Go wild!

Pauly Shore stars in the Terminator franchise as the T800. Terrifying.

Meryl Streep has the starring role in Showgirls. She wins an academy award, obviously.

Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings as played by Al Pachino. Woo ha Mr. Frodo!

Finally, Steven Seagal in place of Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life.

What would you make?

I was just talking about this with a friend today. I said Chris Farley as a serious terminator in T2, Arnold's part. And David Spade would be the liquid one lol. But complete seriousness. Would be cool to see.

Otherwise various movies/actors from 90s. Hopefully this becomes reality once AI gets more relevant.

I really, truly hope that someone reads this comment and makes a deep fake of it. Probably not possible because of the huge difference in Arnold and Chris's face, but I would love to see your idea in action.

I think AI/deep fake technology will make some of these possible one day. I look forward to seeing this one.

I will execute this power to stop remakes from being made.

I give Jim Gavin whatever he needs to finish Lodge 49.

That's a good idea. I'd probably do the same for Raised by Wolves

I loved that show. (It was cool to see that Kurt Russell's son had so much talent.)

Now, that's how you use reality creating powers

Al Pacino in David Lynch's Blue Velvet instead of Kyle MacLachlan.

Haley Joel Osmet IS Steven Spielberg’s American Harry Potter. Rosie O’Donnell gets the Weasley role as rumored around then. Just total chaos, filmed in the place of A.I.

I want to see Nicolas Cage’s Superman. He’s enthusiastic about comic books and the character, so you know he’d give it his all, but it’s also Nic Cage, so how would that look especially given the vanilla nature of Superman?

I would love to see this movie also. It's just sounds so "out there" based on the information that's available.

I want to remake Kubrick’s “The Shining” with John Lithgow as Jack Torrance. Nicholson’s performance is legendary, but he seems malicious from the get-go. Lithgow I think would have a more clear descent from a decent man with a troubled past to giving into his most psychotic urges.

Inception, but done by Judd Apatow and crew - Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Steve Carrell, Jason Segel, John C. Reilly, etc.

Who gets which roles? I think I'd have John C Reily in for Decaprio
