This week’s assignment from the League: Reboot and recast!

reboot and recast your favorite movie

Hollywood loves a reboot–Total Recall with Colin Farrell hit the screens this past weekend, and it looks like Chris Hemsworth is taking on Patrick Swayze’s role in Red Dawn (sob). Your assignment this week…

—

Remake one of your favorite movies with a cast of current Hollywood stars.

This week’s topic for the League comes to us from Paxton Holley over at the Cavalcade of Awesome. If any League members want to submit their own topic ideas for future weeks, send them over!

Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

    Whoah! Everybody was way more on the ball with this one than I was. It took me a really long time to think of a movie to desecrate… I mean reboot. I tried to find one that would actually be improved by rebooting it, even if it has a loyal geek following.

    Here’s mine. I could probably have done with spending a bit more time polishing it but then I realized the horror of what I was doing:

      That right there is inspired. I probably would have put Jennifer Lawrence in there someplace. I fell hard for her in X-Men First Class =)

        Have you seen Winter’s Bone? That was my first introduction to her and she impressed the hell out of me in that role.
