Suicide Squad. Jared Leto is replaced by Jim Carrey.
I honestly can’t tell if I’m serious about this or not.
But he’s already the Riddler!
And? If DC released a movie with Jim Carrey cast in every role, would you not go see it? More Jim = more better!!
Jim Carey would have absolutely made that movie.
Carrey would be great if you’re going for a 60’s era, campy Joker.
I’d love to see Crispin Glover or Andy Serkis take a turn as the Joker, myself.
If Robin Williams was still around I’d want to see him in the role.
Dude Crispin Glover Joker would be awesome
The only difference between Crispin Glover and the Joker is that Glover’s attack missed.
Not even Jim Carrey could have saved that slop.
Valerian. Recast both leads if you can, but in a pinch just DeHaan. Give Valerian himself a single iota of charisma and the movie ends up a slight but interesting lark instead of a slog.
There’s a line I’ve heard a couple times that if you swapped the pairs from Valerian and Passengers, both movies end up better, if maybe not quite “good.”
This is what I came to say if it wasn’t already.
Replace both leads with a couple that has chemistry but retains that slightly antagonistic spark and it would’ve made a good movie. I don’t even have an alternate casting, just, “not them.”
I guess Steven Seagall movies are the low-hanging fruit, huh?
Okay, semi-semi-serious answer: the first Aliens Vs Predator movie. I replace the predator with Animal from the Muppet Show. That would at least make the movie fun.
Replacing any character from any movie with any Muppet makes the movie immediately better.
Gonzo as Anton Chigurh in No County for Old Men.
Not the swedish chef? Think about it… could be good.
Along these lines, now I’m seeing Alien with Elmo as the main antagonist - would be a huge step up. (I know Elmo is not Muppet Show but is from the Muppets Cinematic Universe.)
Star wars prequels. Jarjar replaced by nobody.
Alternatively, Star War prequels with everyone replaced by Jar Jar
I still want to visit the alternate timeline where Lucas didn’t cave to fan pressure. And the big reveal in Ep 3 is that Jar Jar is revealed to be the Sith Lord. Could Lucas have pulled off a Shyamalan-level surprise? We’ll never know.
Only if it meant more toy sales, which was all Lucas cared about
There are cuts of the prequels out there that cut out the Gungans almost completely.
Idk Chris Rock would have made a good Jar Jar.
I could improve on the film adaptation of Eragon by replacing the entire cast with Thunderbirds-style puppets.
Idk how you could do that since there is not–and has never been–an eragon movie.
Sure there is! It exists in my imagination and is cast exclusively with Thunderbirds-style puppets!
MATT. DAMON!
ERAGON! FUCK YEAH!
All bad movies
Replace all actors with Nick Cage
Including the bad nick cage movies. Just add more nick cage to fix it.
Double recast in the MCU:
Starlord should have been played by Jeremy Renner, and Hawkeye should have been played by Crisp Ratt.It would have fit the characterization in the comics better. In the comics, Hawkeye is more of a goofy wisecracking dude who gets lots of chicks, and Starlord is more of a responsible & respectable straight-man for the rest of the GotG to annoy with their weirdness.
The Borderlands movie. Anyone other than who they casted. Lilith is between late 20s to middle 30s. Roland is supposed to be a intimidating soldier. And Jack Black for Claptrap?! Come on
I’m so tired of the jack black train.
Remove Joel Silver from the production team of the Matrix: Reloaded and Revolutions. Creative control to the Wachowskis.
Allow the countercultural, noir elements that made the first Matrix excellent. Police and innocent bystanders are potential if not actual enemies. Fewer set-piece fights; more skillful, thoughtful moments like the fight against Seraph.
And, certainly, a different end-fight arc. Once Smith has the Oracle’s power, a slugfest stops making sense.
You might be right but that’s not a simple casting change
Speaking as someone who genuinely loved all four Mayrix movies, while simultaneously able to recognize the decline in quality as the franchise continued: The Wachowskis didn’t understand the media they were ripping off. They were mashing action figures together, effectively, and that’s ok. The first movie was lightning in a bottle, of course the sequels wouldn’t hold up, but I’m glad they exist because it inspired a significant portion of my own writing.
I agree that having the Wachowskis back in charge of the franchise would be an improvement, not because of their skill as writers and directors, but because of the passion and vision for the art (assuming that they still care, anyway.).
this would have been so much better.
Babygirl - Replace Nicole Kidman with someone who can still show emotion on their face
Haven’t seen Star Trek: Into Darkness since before I watched the actual show, so I can’t really say if it would fix it, but it would be improved by removing the Cumberbatch of it all
Yeah.
That was a really, really bad choice, especially considering how race-based casting became a huge issue around that time.
Some guys made a ten-hour film about paint drying to piss off the censors. Replacing the wall with about anybody would probably be a vast improvement…
I too would watch paint drying on Scarlett Johansson.
Star Wars - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith would both be infinitely better if a better actor than Hayden Christensen had been cast as Anakin Skywalker.
I also think Mads Mikkelsen was a terrible, awful replacement for Johnny Depp as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts 3. He’s such a wooden actor and lacks the subtlety and nuance that Depp brought to the role.
Redo The Adventures of Pluto Nash, but replace Eddie Murphy with Michael Cera from 2010.
Replacing Chris Pratt in Jurassic Park. He’s cringe
Recasting Chris Pratt in all of his movies would greatly improve all of them.
yup. with damn near anyone ffs, he’s a derpy twat.
