These two suggestions arrived within days of each other and they seem complementary so I’m presenting them both.

Hollywood’s in a remake rut, it seems, so why not give them some new fodder to work with? There are many times while watching an episode that my roommates and I will think, “Hey, wouldn’t this be great if Peter Jackson directed it?” or, “Morgan Freeman would be awesome in this role!”
So, if you could re-cast and/or re-crew any MSTed movie, which one would you pick? For example: Michael Bay’s “Godzilla vs. Megalon” starring Jackie Chan as “Rex Dart”, Bruce Campbell as “Oscar Wilde”, and Keanu Reeves as “Jet Jaguar”.

Thinking along similar lines, alert reader Stacy writes:

I was thinking that if Hollywood were to try again to make a MST3K movie, they might be tempted to replace everyone with a more recognizable star. So here’s the question…if Hollywood were to recast our favorite riffers, who would you choose? Steve Martin as Dr. Forrester? Joel McHale as Mike Nelson? Let’s hear from the fans!

I kind of like the idea of Judd Apatow remaking “Being from Another Planet” with Michael Cerra in the Ben Murphy role and Jonah Hill in the Kevin Brophy role.

And what do we think of Patton Oswalt as Dr. Forrester? And Ryan Stiles as TV’s Frank? ‘Cause it’s all crazy and mixed up and wacky!

What would your picks be?
