12 O'Clock High

Probably my favorite war film of all time is 12 O'Clock High. This movie cries out for a remake with modern effects, but i'm sure Hollywood would find a way to screw it up and tamper with the script too much. If they did remake it, and remade it correctly without messing up the story or script, who should play Frank Savage? Who has the necessary combination of hard-nosed gravitas and humanity that Gregory Peck had?

Gregory Peck is his own unique character

NO REMAKES
I have a rule that I will boycott any studio that remake El Dorado gets on my no money from me list. (I know its ironic)
remakes aren't necessarily bad
The Maltese Falcon by Huston is a remake, so is Powell’s The Thief of Bagdad, Wyler’s Ben-Hur. Ozu remade his A Story of Floating Weeds.
this is in my top 5 favorite war movies.
Where Eagles Dare is number one.
i could see a remake of this, but as said above, recasting gregory peck…well, he’s a very unique actor. i can’t really think of a current actor with the stature to try an fill the same space.

Either
Tom Hanks or Russell Crow. Probably Tom Hanks.

I could see Tom Hanks
And I think he’d love the role as he has had a lot of experience in war productions (Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, etc.).
