I'd love to see a re-make, although I have no thoughts on who should be Fonda OR Bronson. But even if they eventualy re-make this, Fonda will always be the perfect villian to me and no one else.

In my opinion Javier Bardem would be one of the actors that could perform in a leone-style remake. He is some badass and his face is good for camera close-ups ;-)

Young: Why do we need a remake?

The original is perfect as it is. ;)

Let´s see: "Jesus Christ, it´s Richard Gere" - how about that? Though Fonda WAS an actor and Gere isn´t... Harmonica: Harry Dean Stanton would be a funny choice.

The smartest most intelligent thing the director did was to give baby blue eyed American hero Henry Fonda the role of the villian and rough "I served prison time" face of Bronson the good guy. More realistic.
