If they do the remake, you know who could make a great Merlin …

How about Benedict Cumberbatch?
I know, I know: Hes in EVERYTHING lately.. But, he has a great voice, an ethereal presence & the looks to carry it off..
To be honest, I just want him to crack on with series 3 of Sherlock (& 4,5,6,7,8.), however, I would be willing to allow him a "sabbatical" for this one!

For sheer wit, irony, intelligence & invention, no one will ever come close to Nicol Wiilamson's performance in Excalibur.
They broke the mold after this guy. See his Hamlet. It's brilliant.

I agree His Hamlet is amazing. So completely unique.

Geoffrey Rush's character in Elizabeth reminded me of Merlin in this film.

benedict cumberbatch who just like Nicol played Sherlock.
However I really hope they never remake this. It would be poor a dream to some a nightmare to others.

Why would they do a remake, the original is as epic it could possibly get. They couldn't catch the miserable an dark atmosphere that movie brought. A remake would probably involve some kid/teen with a backpack running around with zero deaths taking place.

Geoffrey Rush. Combine his Barbossa with his Linoel Logue, I think you could have the perfect Merlin. Anyone else agree?
I'm not overly keen on the remake, but I'm open to it, and if it has to happen, you need a good cast to sell it.

A remake? What are you nuts or something?

Morgan Freeman. He already plays that role in everything these days (the wise, old mentor). Or maybe Timothy Dalton. While I'm at it, Vinnie Jones would make a great Uther.
