Denzel Washington should be Darkman in the remake.


He's done the revenge film before with Man on Fire with great success and his skin color adds another dimension to the character.

Denzel isn't dark skinned enough. Djimon Hounsou could pull it off.

Only this time, Darkman would just be some ex-military dude who works at Home Depot or some crap like that.

It's been a year and my demands still haven't been met.

Are you kidding? LIAM NEESON should be Darkman in the remake - to atone for making this film when he couldn't act. NOW he's acknowledged as one of moviedom's talented veterans, but I cannot understand why people cannot see him "indicating" like a first-year acting student here - and calling this stinkasaurus a classic!
It has dated so badly that a remake or reboot - or whatever you kids call unoriginal plagiarism these days - would definitely benefit its legacy.

You got it all wrong.

Cearly Idris Elba should have played him.

I could just see the PC Police jumping all over that one. They would be like: "How dare you call him a dark man?"
