I seriously hope for a remake of Moby Dick with a theatrical release with better special effects and actors. Here are my ideas for a cast:
Captain Ahab - Hugh Laurie, Robert Englund, Tobin Bell
Ishmael - Shia LeBouf, Christian Bale, Daniel Radcliffe
Starbuck - Tom Hanks
Stubb - Gerard Butler
Flask - Norman Reedus
Fedallah - Ben Kingsley

What's the point in listing actors? The ONLY purpose these days in doing remakes of films like this is strictly for the CGI special effects. The actors, the writing, the dialogue are all utterly meaningless.
No one today starts with the idea: "hey, we should remake this film because we can cast it better, write it better, act it better, direct it better..."
It's just an excuse to pour their talentless CGI out of a can like paint.
Daniel Day-Lewis as Captain Ahab would be the single greatest thing ever committed to the big screen, assuming it is a faithful adaptation of the novel, and not the bastardized, masturbatory version they've got planned for 2011.
The thought of having Brad Pitt as Starbuck actually makes me long for a suitable CGI´d Whale as the main feature of the movie!
It is our choices that show what we truly are... far more than our abilities.

Ahab --- John Terry ... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0856012/
Starbuck --- Liam Cunningham ... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0192377/

Yes, and it should also be a musical.
