I am aware that a remake of Jurassic Park is a terrible idea. That is not the purpose of this thread. Im just having some fun doing a recast for a 2016 version of Jurassic Park. My iteration would be significantly longer, and more intense, like the novel, and probably rated R. That said, let's go!

Dr. Alan Grant- Paul Bettany

My first choice waMatthew Mcconaughey, but I decided against him. I wanted someone with a clearer and more credible- sounding speaking voice. Enter Paul Bettany. Of late, Bettany has gained some recognition in the geek community in the roles of JARVIS and Vision in Marvel's Cinematic Universe. Bettany really reminds me of Sam Neill's Alan Grant, with a very distinct voice and conveying a lot with very little.

Dr. Ellie Sattler- Taylor Swift

Wait. Hear me out here. I was a little hesitant to even put this out on the internet because I knew I'd get a lot of backlash. I know she's never avted in a feature film before. I know she's not exactly the Laura Dern- type science chick the fandom has grown accustomed to. There's just something about Taylor Swift that reminds me of Ellie Sattler from the novel, or maybe vice-versa. This is one I'm really curious to get an outside opinion on. Sound off below...

John Hammond- Christopher Lloyd

Having already played an elderly eccentric with a love for strange science in Back To The Future, Lloyd is prefactly suited for the role of the egomaniacal Hammond. Lloyd has exceptional prowess as an actor, able to carry any scene he needs to.

Dr. Ian Malcolm- Jake Gyllenhaal

Having most recently won critical praise in the blockbuster Southpaw, Gyllenhaal demonstrated his incredible acting chops once again. At thirty- five, he is younger than Jeff Goldblum was when he gave his spot-on performance in the original JP, Gyllanhall's Malcolm might be a bit downplayed, more like the novel. His role would mostly consist of moralizing, also deling far deeper into Chaos Theory than Speilberg's version.

Now on to the smaller characters:

Clark Gregg as Gennaro: Soft spoken, intelligent sounding, can play up the nervous, wormy aspects

Jonah Hill as Nedry: Almost too obvios a pick... Need I say more?

Charlie Cox as Arnold: Confident, delivers lines with a lot of weight

I know there are other characters, and I may add to this list down the line, but this is all I've got for now.

Thanks for reading.
