    Re: Cast A Towering Inferno Remake

    You could make a two hour film of Freeman in his hospital bed, reading his script, and people would still watch it.

        And this conversation started off so well.
        The end is too damn nigh.

          How is it off topic? I'd camp in line to see a remake of The Towering Inferno starring Bobcat, Abe, Morgan and Ernie.

          Throw Adrienne Barbeau and Traci Lords in there, too.

            Um, what is this Towering Inferno you speak of?

              The biggest movie of 1974.

              "Warner Brothers & 20th Century Fox were both keen to cash in on the success of 1972s The Poseidon Adventure, Warner's buying the rights to The Tower, and Fox buying the rights to The Glass Inferno, both novels about burning skyscrapers and seemingly ripe for a big screen adaptation. Producer Irwin Allen smartly suggested that both studios should come together and produce one blockbusting genre defining film, splitting the cost down the middle, The Towering Inferno was born and went on to make over $100 million across the globe, a very impressive take for its time, and certainly a shot in the arm for disaster genre enthusiasts."

              Paul Newman, Robert Vaughn, William Holden, Faye Dunaway, Steve McQueen, Susan Blakely, Richard Chamberlain, Robert Wagner and Jennifer Jones all make lasting impressions. However it is Fred Astaire (in an Oscar-nominated role of a lifetime) and then-Buffalo Bill superstar O.J. Simpson.

                I think Ms. Jones made the biggest one.

                Ahem.

                  Gin Rummy?

                  Gin rummy? Isn't that a two-player game?


                  Make it interesting with a game of stud poker played by Freeman, Jones, Newman, and Vigoda, (none wishing to lose what could be their final game together, if they leave). Have Barbeau tending the bar, when not answering the telephone, and Lords serving drinks; meanwhile, Goldthwaite prepares to put out the fire and rescue the remaining six people in the upstairs bar.

                      Gary Sinese as the chief fireguy that Steve McQueen played. That dude has the chops to do it.

                        Cast David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson -- just to make up for the lack of real excitement in X-Files 2.....

                          Duchovny is too busy right now duct-taping his dick to the side of his leg in rehab.

                            Obviously I meant cast him when he's done with that!

                              If someone finds a way, cast Steve Zahn! He's solid when he gets a good character to play.
