The discussion of this great movie in another thread led me to wonder, if this would be remade today, who should we cast?
I am sure there is enough talent in Hollywood to carry this off, but who would be in the remake?
They did it not that long ago(1997). They used:
Jack Lemmon
George C. Scott
Tony Danza
Hume Cronyn
Edward James Olmos
Ossie Davis
Armin Mueller-Stahl
Courtney B. Vance
Dorian Harewood
Mykelti Williamson
Mary McDonnell
William Petersen
If we remade 12 Angry Men, who would you cast as the jury?
I would merge this thread with the other
good Idea, sent request.
Adam Sandler
Eddie Murphy (in drag)
David Cross
Nick Cage
Lindsay Lohan
Will Ferrell
Gumby
Sean Hannity
Bill O’Reilly
Orly Taintz
Kim Kardashian
Meryll Streep
Hosted by Michael Bay.
It’s a remake ala Survivor, shot cinema veritè, and when you are voted off, they shoot you. Then dinosaurs eat the “winner” and the host.
I’d pay good money to see that!
We should merge the two threads discussing this
Damn – that cast looks pretty damned distinguished. Maybe that should be watched. In fact it’s on my list now.
I was only coming in with some joke answers, like Kirk Douglas, but that’d be pretty weak. Peter Fonda – that’s a good joke answer, I think.
Eddie Murphy plays all twelve!
George Clooney
Brad Pitt
Matt Damon
Elliott Gould
Casey Affleck
Scott Caan
Eddie Jemison
Don Cheadle
Shaobo Qin
Carl Reiner
Andy García
Eddie Izzard
Sam Jackson
John Travolta
Steve Buscemi
John Depp
the maid from 2 1/2 men
Betty White
Queen Latifah
Mr. T
Peewee Herman
Howard Stern
Daniel Tosh
Cesar Milan
“Check out the brain on this bleeding heart – how do you KNOW my name is …lousy rotten kids” SamL Jackson MUST have the Lee J Cobb role. It could be very meta.
I came in to post exactly this.
Seriously. Word for word.
It’s quite good, actually.
It seems to me that a question like this really just boils down to “who are your 12 favorite actors?”.
That fit the roles.
Merged duplicate threads.

It shouldnt though, because ideally the actors should be unknown. They should represent various types of everyman, and “celebrity” actors would detract from that a little imo.
Well, really, most roles benefit from having unknown actors, all else being equal. But that tends to rather cut short threads.
And wasn’t Peter Fonda already well-known at the time of the original?
My cast
Tom Hanks
Matt Damon
Julia Stiles
Mila Kunis
Jim Carrey
Sandra Bullock
Michael Douglas
Jimmy Smits
Mariah Carey
Wifred Brimley
Judi Dench
Michael Caine
