Well if casting a wicker basket full of a cobras...to throw the motherfucker who was thinking of remaking Smokey and the Bandit into isn't an option: Bandit: Clayne Crawford Carrie: Natalie Zea Cledus/Snowman: Walton Goggins Smokey: Jim Beaver Junior: Timothy Oliphant Big Enos: Nick Searcy Little Enos: Damon Herriman Yes they were all in Justified, and yes it would work. View Quote Sidenote: Clayne Crawford really needs more good roles to play. Fan of his work since Baytown Outlaws. |

Sidenote: Clayne Crawford really needs more good roles to play. Fan of his work since Baytown Outlaws. I completely agree with your sidenote that Clayne Crawford needs to be in a lot more things, he's a damn good actor and he also seems to have his head on right. Hell, I'll even go so far as to commit Arfcom heresy and say that I actually not only liked him better as Martin Riggs than Mel Gibson, but that I think the new Lethal Weapon series has the potential to wind up being better the movies if they don't totally shit the bed when it returns for its 2nd season (since that has happened to many a series over the years, they can open with a strong first season and then nosedive really quickly) and I'm saying that as someone who's seen every Lethal Weapon movie in the theater the weekend it opened so I'm far from a Lethal Weapon hater, I like the movies a lot. |

Just saw it tonight, in theaters. It should never be attempted again, although I'm sure Hollywood would love to fuck it up. I even drove my TA to the show lol View Quote Attached File |

Took my wife to the 7pm showing Wednesday night. It really looked great on the big screen.
No one can replace Jackie Gleason, or the rest of the cast for that matter. Worth $12.50 a ticket |

Quoted:
Bandit: Norm MacDonald Frog: Jennifer Love Hewitt Snowman: Doug Stanhope Buford T Justice: Artie Lange No that wouldn't work today, all white. They will have to insert a black person and a Hispanic in two of the four roles unless they can come up with a black Hispanic, a twofer. View Quote Edit.... Need a small gal for Frog. Kristin Chenoweth |

Bandit - Jeff Bridges
Carrie - Julianne Moore Cledus - Steve Buscemi Buford T. Justice - John Goodman "Smokie and the Lebowski" |

Here's an idea.....no more remakes of classics.
Make writers come up with new ideas for movies. |

I'd like to see John C Reilly as Snowman, although the Walter Goggins idea isn't half bad. https://glasgowonfilmdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/john-c-reilly.jpg View Quote |

My first thought is: "Don't do it."
If you're going to anyway, might was well make it funny. Get Pratt for the Bandit and Goodman for BTJ. Just the interaction between those two would be hella funny. |

Quoted:
Bandit - Mcconaughey. Or Bradley Cooper if you want to go a little younger Carrie - Amber Heard or Jennifer Lawrence Cledus - Billy Bob Thornton Buford T. Justice - he's irreplaceable, but I guess you could go with John Goodman View Quote |

Bandit - Brad Pitt
Smokey - Jeffrey Dean Morgan Jerry Reed - Ryan Reynolds or Norman Reedus Sally Fields - Vanessa Hudgens Mine would be darker and there would be deaths. |

McConaughey is a good choice by OP and Witherspoon isn't a terrible choice either.
Maybe Jennifer Aniston??? That seems like a funny/quirky/romantic role that she normally takes. She's still pretty hot too and doesn't look her age. ETA: there are some really outstanding suggestions in here. If they have to remake the movie or film a sequel, GD is the place to go for casting. Who knew? |

Bandit - Viggo Mortensen
Smokey - William Dafoe Junior - Cillian Murphy Snowman - Forest Whitaker Frog - Anna Kendrick Big Enos - Sam Jackson Little Enos - Seth Green A story about Human Trafficking following the interstate serial murderer "Bandit" as he tries to run interference for "Snowman" running a truckload of 13 year old asian girls to NYC in a snowstorm. Following the rampage and trying to put the pieces together is speedball addicted FBI agent "Smokey" who cares less and less about his job and more about his addiction daily. Smokey's partner is the troubled genius "Junior" who signed up for the job because of his fascination with the macabre. Junior's doesn't notice the throws of dependency in his parter because he chooses to focus on the Badit's gruesome victims secretly hoping that they never catch up with the killer. Joining the Bandit is the prostitute Claire "Frog" as she learns of his plans and violent past is first apprehensive but then becomes willing partner just as the Bandit is having second thoughts. |

Mathew Mconaughey, could have him driving a Lincoln instead. It'd be a hoot

Bandit: Matthew McConaughey
Cletus: Rodney Carrington Bonus since they are both from where I live. My wife knows them both. I don't maybe they hate each other. I don't know. One of them is my wife's ex-BF. Frog: Kate Hudson BTJ: Sam Jackson/Ice Tea Big Enos: Dave Chappelle Little Enos: Kevin Hart... he would be hilarious as Buford too. |

Nobody can replace BT Justice. There is no substitute for Jackie Gleason.
I'm going to go a little against the grain: Bandit: johnny Knoxville Cletus: Matthew McConaughey Carrie: Reese Witherspoon Buford: John C Reilly Junior: |

Most of my picks have already been mentioned McConaughy as Bandit Kunis as frog McBride as snowman Goodman as the sheriff Will Ferrell as Jr Probably Sam Jackson and Kevin Hart as the Enos(s) as they would need to add some sort of color to get this made and I think they would do a decent job even though I dislike Hart View Quote Bandit to Snowman-"aw right, aw right, Aw right" |

Holy shit. I've been listening to Jerry Reed my whole life, and it never occurred to me that he was Cledus.
