something to ponder
« on: December 17, 2016, 04:28:40 PM »
Here's something to ponder on a cold Winter day. Let's say you are casting for the ultimate Western movie. You can use any actor, living or dead (hey it works on Star Trek!). Who would you pick? I'll throw out a few names to start: John Wayne (of course!),Clint  Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef ..... Who else?

Roy Rogers, of course.  :D  DeForest Kelley and Leonard Nimoy too.  Smiley Burnette and George Hayes.  Audie Murphy, Gene Autry.  And The Sons of the Pioneers.

With Dale Evans, and Olivia de Havilland too.

James Caan and James Coburn. Oh, and the guy who played the bad Sheriff in "The Unforgiven" whose name escapes me ....

Gene Hackman?  He's written at least one western novel too, by the way.

Jeff Bridges   ( Wild Bill & True Grit )

I think  "Ol"  Jeff & Sam Elliot  would make great team  .....I also offer Robert Duvall and Kurt Russell, Lee Marvin


Thomas Haden Church, gets a call as well .
  

 the supporting cast... Woody Strode, Dub Taylor , Strother Martin , Ben Johnson , Marty Borgnine & Arthur Honeycutt .

Yeah..tha'd be a Western , I'd  walk to see 
when planets align...do the deal !

Oh man, I would love to see Randolph Scott go up against Bruce Dern. Ditto Glenn Ford or Jimmy Stewart. Gene Hackman* makes an excellent bad guy too: maybe Dern and Lee Van Cleef could be his henchmen. Oh, and a younger Richard Boone, who in fact played opposite Scott in a couple of movies and is an excellent bad guy.
I would round out the cast with Arthur Hunnicutt, Deforest Kelley, Woody Strode, maybe the more serious Jack Elam. Thomas Haden Church.
Female lead? The only one who presently comes to mind is Michele Carey. I must ponder this further.

*Gene Hackman was the only thing good about "Quick and the Dead" and almost, ALMOST makes the movie bearable to watch.
