I never was impressed by Hoosiers, just might not be the right audience. TKaM could be remade very well. Kid actors are better than ever. The hard part is getting somebody with Peck’s gravitas. Ian McShane though, I bet he could do it. He can play Odin after all.

Oh,c'mon! Yes,you could get any talented actress to play MayElla. And I suppose that there are kids who could play Scout and Jem. But how could you possibly recast Atticus,Tom Robinson or Sheriff Tate? For that matter,Cal...she was excellent too. But the questioning of Tom Robinson by Atticus,and his summation,are set in stone.

Just out of curiosity...are you aware that during his questioning of "Tom Robinson" Gregory Peck couldn't look directly at him because his performance was so powerful that Peck was afraid he'd start crying if he did?

Just sayin'....

I comment to you only because Mockingbird is my very favorite film.

Hoosiers was based on a real story about Indiana state basketball @1954... the origins of March Madness.
