I've thought a few times that Tom Hanks might be able to pull off playing a few old Jimmy Stewart roles.......maybe.

Seconded! If you want an (older) Jimmy Stuart, Sam Waterson of Law and Order might pull it off. As far as Clint, the guy who plays the new Bond (spacing on the name) might stress might do in a pinch, and would be a lot better than Glen Cambel (the weak link)l in the remake of true grit.

Hoot owl Sam Waterston?................and you scoffed at Tom Hanks?     :-X    :-X

At least I was half-way saying it in jest.........with emphasis on the maybe.............Sam Waterston.........damn.    ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

At least Hanks' acting style has been compared to Stewart......I do realize he ain't half the man that Stewart was......

I ain't that big a dumbass........unless my wife's telling the story............"What Honey?....oh nothing....Just typing on the computer to my little friends about.........um.....er....normal stuff.......


Actually, in all seriousness (yes, me, serious) I've never really saw too many remakes that do justice to the original so I don't care much for them.

Three Stooges' coming together at MGM
Wed Mar 25, 2009, 02:54 PM ET •
Source: Hollywood Reporter

Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk.

MGM and the Farrelly brothers are finally slapping together their high-profile cast for "The Three Stooges," a comedy project the filmmakers have been developing for years. Sean Penn is set to play Larry, and Jim Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly. Benicio del Toro is a rumored possibility for the brothers' taciturn leader, Moe.

The studio is looking to start production in the fall for a 2010 release slot.

The project was originally set up at Columbia, which produced the 1930s Stooges shorts. C3 Entertainment Inc., which holds the licensing rights to the Stooges brand, then sold the feature rights to Warner Bros. in 2001 for the Farrellys to write and produce the movie. Eventually, Warner Bros. let the rights lapse and MGM's Mary Parent scooped them up along with the Farrellys' continuing participation.

Peter and Bobby Farrelly wrote the script, which Bobby has referenced as "Dumb, Dumber & Dumbest," and will produce with Bradley Thomas and Charlie Wessler. Earl and Robert Benjamin of C3 will executive produce.

The film is not a biopic but a fictional treatment that maintains the Stooges' gleeful slap schtick updated for a modern milieu.

Originally constructed as four separate shorts, the feature screenplay has since been streamlined into a single narrative. Included in the story line is an opening that shows the Stooges as kids in an orphanage, a device that will require some "Benjamin Button"-style visual trickery to place the adult actors' heads on child actors' bodies.

The Stooges maintain remarkably global brand recognition, and their shorts, films and cartoons are still broadcast in 30 countries. The Farrelly brothers' latest comedy "The Heartbreak Kid" grossed $124 million worldwide.

Penn is repped by CAA, Carrey by CAA and the Miller Co.

+10 Selleck would work, I just still have a hard time pictuing him without those Hawian shirts though. Maybe Wilam DeFoe if he's not too old. He was the right kind of badass in platoon. Or, just to jerk the GOPs chain, maybe Martin Sheen. If he was tough enough for Apocalypse Now.......

Remaking a Duke movie should be the same as comitting treason.  It shouldn't be done, THERE IS NO ACTOR IN THIS WORLD that could even imagine filling the Duke's shoes.

The first problem is there maybe five actors in hollywood that love this country and realize that westerns represent the best of who we are as a people, second Duke was bigger than life....there are no actors that have the Dukes presence on screen.
