Hypothetically, ideally...
Ryan Gosling... Eddie Felson
Rachel McAdams... Sarah Packard
Al Pacino... Bert Gordon
John Goodman... Minnesota Fats
Directed by David Fincher

------------------------ RIP James Gandolfini ---------------------------
Would never want this movie to be a remake its just to much of a classic.. But to see James Gandolfini act again especially in a Minnesota Fats role would be amazing..
Yes to Gosling
Absolutely NO to Rachel McAdams (perhaps Michelle Willams)
Yes to Pacino
NO to Goodman and I agree that Gandolfini would be best as Fats
When I saw it, I couldn't help but think that Gosling as Eddie Felson and Carey Mulligan as Sarah Packard would be perfect in a remake (not that there should be one)!
shareFor the love of GOD.......PLEASE.....I hope they NEVER desecrate this masterpiece with remake rubbish. These days, Hollywood would be obliged to cast a black guy as Fast Eddie with a hip-hop score, and he be nicknamed something like....Mo Dogg. Lol. Political correctness BS.

I actually think De Niro would make a better Gordon. He's a master at subtlety, while Pacino is a master at...whatever the opposite of subtlety is.
shareYour generation really scares me. It really does.
shareIn 1961, Paul Newman was 36, Piper Laurie was 29, George C. Scott was 34, and Jackie Gleason was 45.
Casting today with the same ages, the cast might look like this:
Fast Eddie: Aaron Paul
Sarah: Lindsay Lohan
Bert: Chris Evans
Minnesota Fats: Kevin Smith
How's that for perspective?
