    Matt Damon could be a possibility if you wanted a brand name to go with the movie. But if I were to redo it i'de try to cast a relative unknown.

      Yeah, an relatively no named actor would probably be the best. I don't really see Damon working though.

        When thinking Damon i was thinking someone who could be fit enough to be a "running man" but not be overboard in size like Arnie was. Thats really the only reason I would chose Damon. He is a talented actor as well.

          How about Jason Stratham? He has a good physique, but not a beefy as Arnold, and has decent acting skills.
          In fact his role in Death Race is a pretty good parallel to Running Man.

            I like statham, and i agree with your parallel to running man but i dont know if statham has enough depth.

              i think there is only one actor that hollywood is using for it's 'movies' and that is Nicholas Cage unfortunately

                Yea and i have no idea why because Nicholas Cage is the most inconsistant actor ever.

                  I would actually bring Arnie back. Lol jk
                  I honestly think an overpowering kind of guy is needed for this movie(if you're going to make it similar to this one). If you're going for some kind of karate guy then that's one thing but if you want brute strength, you can't use a guy like Damon.

                          Liam Neeson. He's become an action hero with depth.

                                    Yes while reading the book I picture Edward Norton as Ben Richards.

                                      If they were going to make a movie based on the actual Bachman (King) book (I think "reboot" fits better than "remake"), then I guess I would agree with casting an unknown. If not, Cillian Murphy would do an excellent job as he comes across as very sharp and has the same scrawny physique as Richards from the book.
                                      For the charismatic Killian (who if I remember the novel right was a black man), I would probably go with Isaiah Washington or Dennis Haysbert. Just as an aside.
