I think Die Hard would be great as a Cary Grant movie in the 50s. Maybe cast James Mason as Gruber and if so, perhaps North by Northwest never existed.

E.T. as played by Charlie Chaplin.

Groundhog Day SHOULD have been a Frank Capra movie.

John Brennan and John Larrabee, two Internet critics whose reviews I like, wrote down some casting choices for a “‘40s Harry Potter” here (sadly, they’ve taken the page off their site, but it still survives via that Internet Archive link). |

I think Die Hard would be great as a Cary Grant movie in the 50s. Maybe cast James Mason as Gruber and if so, perhaps North by Northwest never existed. Great idea. Funny though, Frank Sinatra was in a film based off of a book called the Detective in 1968. The book that Die Hard was based off of was the sequel to the Detective so the studio was contractually obligated to give Sinatra right of first refusal on the movie deal. He was 73 or so by then and gracefully turned it down.. Just imagine if the book was written just a couple of years after the Detective and Die Hard was filmed in the early '70s. I imagine the Chairman wouldn't have turned it down in those days... |
