Film recasting

stimpsonslostson

Replacing Hayden Christensen in StarWars, Keanu in Constantine/Keanu in Dracula with ANYONE could be an upgrade.

Ian Beale and Barry from Eastenders as Frodo and Sam.

Dominic

Gene Wilder to replace Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribean
 ............See how he likes it !
I feel very strongly that to remake Willy Wonker ,one of my very favourite films, and deny the Gene Wilder role by getting Depp to play it was an insult to the original not an Homage
Gene Wilder was WW in every way - he was brilliant in the role

Ian Beale as James Bond

Tom Hardy as Bane from Dark Knight Rises cast as:

Newt in Aliens - Aliens merely adopted the darkness, I was born to it, moulded by it, by the time I saw the sun, it was nothing but BLINDING. The mostly come at night, mostly Mr Wayne.

Every single character in The Matrix

The Riddler in Batman Forever - Your entrance was good, his was better, the difference, illusion and theatricality.

Actually, almost any role... ever.

Richard Harris to finish the Harry Potter films- I liked his lightness of touch in the first few & felt Gambon didn't fit. 

I really didn't like Gambon at first, much preferred Harris, but in the later films I think that Gambon nailed it in a way that Harris wouldn't have done.
