Nicholas Cage equals Jimmy Stewart? Who could remake the old movies?  email this discussion to a friend?

renizans (60)   ranked 2,310 out of 10,795 in watching movies 5 years ago

What actor would you pick that you think could fill the shoes of an actor from the past... maybe either remake one of their movies or portray them in a movie about their life. For instance, I have said several times that I think if anyone could remake "It's a Wonderful Life" today, not changing the script or anything... I think Nicholas Cage could step into Jimmy Stewart's shoes, no problem. Clint Black might make a great Roy Rogers. Any others?

Funny you should bring this up. My family and I were talking about the movie "Arsenic and Old Lace" earlier. Now we all agreed that Robin Williams would be good as "Teddy" but I also think John Goodman could do the role as well. It was the Cary Grant role that came to a problem. We were thinking Johnny Depp could play the role quite well but others did come to mind. I think though Depp would do it very well. He can do the same type of facial features that Grant had.

You are so right! Johnny Depp is definitely another one who I think could pull off an old movie remake... Good one!

Thanks :) "Arsneic and Old Lace" along with "Father Goose" are two of my favorite movies. i could picture Depp in both those roles by Cary Grant.

Nicholas Cage is a little too intense to play Jimmy Stewart"s roles. My pick for Jimmy is Matthew Broderick. I was watching Harrison Ford in Witnessand I thought he would make a great Gary Cooper.Susan Sarandon has Bette Davis' eyes and she would be a great Bette Davis.Anna Nicole was our "50's bombshell", like Marilyn meets Jayne Mansfield.Sherilyn Fenn ,from Twin Peaks and the movie Three Of Hearts, is Ava Gardner.George Cloney is Clark Gable.Sarah Jessica Parker is Carole Lombard.These last two are no brainers . Halle Barry is a dead ringer for Dorothy Dandridge and Isabella Rosselini is a dead ringer for her mom Ingrid Bergman. That's all I can think of right now. I know as soon as I end this post there would be another that comes to mind.

Yeah, Nicholas Cage is possibly a bit too intense to be Jimmy Stewart... I hadn't thought of Matthew Broderick... that might work.... I love the Susan Sarandon thought...never thought about her before... What about Tim Robbins in the Jimmy Stewart role??

Bingo! Tim would be perfect. I knew Nicholas was wrong but trying to think of a replacement was hard because Jimmy could be sweet and honest and tough all at the same time.


renizans (60)   ranked 2,310 out of 10,795 in watching movies  5 years ago

Another thought might be Jim Carrey.... I think he is someone who can be taken seriously...tough when needed but a sweet side.... just a thought


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15794)   ranked 1 out of 10,795 in watching movies  5 years ago

No Jim Carey is not sweet enough.Maybe I mean he doesn't have that boyish charm Jimmy had. But Jim Carey is our Jerry Lewis.


renizans (60)   ranked 2,310 out of 10,795 in watching movies  5 years ago

Good one! You are good at this :)


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15794)   ranked 1 out of 10,795 in watching movies  5 years ago

I knew some more would come to me. How about this.Reese Riverspoon as Doris Day,Brandon Fraser as Rock Hudson, and Johnny Depp as Valentino.
