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
…they should send down Huntington & Nutting, because they aren’t ready, either. - royshowell

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.

crow
I want Russell Crowe as Commodore Matthew Decker in one of the new Star Trek movies

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.).

BBM Powered MLB Mid-Season Roundtable
Sky Kalkman: So I think the Braves should trade for Alex Gonzalez and his .296 OBP. Anyone else?
Will McDonald: Yunel Escobar should get that done.
Eric Simon: Which poor-hitting Alex Gonzalez did they get again?
Will McDonald: Didn't the other one retire?
Adam J. Morris: I wish an Alex Gonzalez had been traded for a Brian Hunter. Or a Bobby Jones.
Jeff Sullivan: So what does anyone know about Tim Collins?
Eric Stephen: Not as good as a Tom Collins.
Eric Simon: Seems like a bad talent swap for the Braves. How important is attitude?
Adam J. Morris: Hard to say on attitude. We aren't there, we don't know what the issues there really are.
Will McDonald: The pro-Braves people are overrating both attitude and Collins tonight.
Eric Simon: What teams are over/underperforming to this point?
Jeff Sullivan: Reds overperforming, Cardinals under.
Jeff Sullivan: Cards are the way better team.
Adam J. Morris: Twins underperforming.
Jeff Sullivan: The NL West is ridiculous, meanwhile.
Adam J. Morris: It seems like Cincy really wants to make a big deal.
Jeff Sullivan: I think Cincy wants to prove it belongs.
Sky Kalkman: Orioles are underperforming.
Adam J. Morris: Not against Texas
Eric Simon: So who else gets moved at the deadline? Roy Oswalt?
Jeff Sullivan: Ty Wigginton! Ty Wigginton is an All-Star infielder.
Sky Kalkman: Can Wiggy reenter every game the rest of the year?
Jeff Sullivan: Why would you ever take him out?
Jeff Sullivan: Any big predicted standings changes in the second half?
Jeff Sullivan: I say Cards blow by the Reds.
Sky Kalkman: I'll take the Twins and Cards and Rockies.
Will McDonald: Do the Rangers get to play the Astros anymore?
Eric Simon: Phillies get healthy and make a run.
Jeff Sullivan: NL west has four legitimate World Series representatives.
Will McDonald: I think Boston makes two good moves and gets a playoff spot.
Eric Simon: World series predictions?
Jeff Sullivan: Yanks/Cards. Cards win in 7, because This Time It Counted.
Adam J. Morris: Rangers vs Braves. Elvis Andrus is series MVP, and Neftali Feliz closes out Game 7.
Eric Simon: I'll go Yanks Padres. 1998 rematch.
Sky Kalkman: Rangers/Rockies, because who the hell knows?
Jeff Sullivan: Would love to see Texas emerge from the AL.
Will McDonald: Rockies/Red Sox.
