I'd rather have Howard as producer and Oliver Stone as director. Stone is better with a camera, and the result would be more of a hoot. And the screenplay should be by the guys who did Pearl Harbor.

I'd love to see Monica Lewinsky as the love interest. Gotta have a love interest.

I invite my fellow Freepers to post other casting ideas such as Martin Short as Davy Crockett, Dennis Quaid as Santa Ana, etc.

Jesse Ventura has to be in there somewhere!

Will there be a spot for Alec Baldwin in this production?

"And the screenplay should be by the guys who did Pearl Harbor."

This guy also wrote BRAVEHEART and WE WERE SOLDIERS(which he also directed).

As for Ron Howard, I like his movies. There is no HATE AMERICA in his movies.

Some of his better movies :
Night Shift
Cocoon
Willow
Backdraft
Apollo 13
Ransom
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
A Beautiful Mind

Let's give him a shot, even though I love the Duke's version (The extended version, not the crap version that's available on DVD).

Gotta have Susan Sarandon, in there somewhere, but be forewarned, don't have the large tub of popcorn, when watching this movie. It will make life misarble for the theatre people! :-)

Bobcat Goldthwaite as Jim Bowie.

For diversity...Jackie Chan as Sam Houston.

Alec Baldwin as: "The Mexican Soldier who gets his head blown off". (Any of 'em.)
