I'll keep it on just one character. My top to picks for Doc Brown would be Bill Murray and Jeff Goldblum. I feel that Bill Murray has the comedic chops to bring a new dynamic to the character. Also the fact that he's played a scientist on screen so many times would bring in a proper sense of nostalgia. Murray is a legend, the Icon of comedic Icons. Since we didn't get the proper Ghostbusters, this would be something interesting to look into. No matter who they pick for Marty it won't work as well. It won't feel right. Apples to Apples, Michael J. Fox just has a certain type of charisma that no one has yet matched. It was brilliant to put him in the movie.
Now on to Jeff Goldblum, come on, you know this is brilliant. Close your eyes, visualize Jeff giving that famous, "Life Finds A Way" line in Jurrassic Park. Now imagine him saying "Oh my God, they found me. I don't know how but they found me." OMGoodness! That would be epic. Looking at his performance in Independence Day is more than enough test footage. He's the right amount of twitchy and gives brilliant reads in everything he does.

P.S. If they go female for Marty McFly, like a Martha McFly, They'll defiantly pick Chloe Moretz
I believe that Sony missed a better opportunity to reboot the correct franchise. I never watched the cartoon Ghostbusters Extreme but I saw enough to know that it would have been best to continue the movies with this concept. With the upcoming reboot of Ghostbusters a lot of fans are up in arms about the direction the movie is going. Most think an all female cast is to blame but with them being as funny as they are in their own right.
I see it more to the failure of the marketing. Having a mixed group of youngsters as you got from the cartoon was the best course of action. I'm looking forward to the movie but I'm still keeping my expectations low.
I came across a picture of Egon Spangler from The Real Ghostbusters cartoon in the 80's and damn if I didn't notice a similarity of Kate McKinnon's character and Egon. Its almost identical. I think this is the direction Sony should have gone. If Sony were to reboot the cartoon and it failed then no harm to the original. You call it a reboot of the original film even thought its a total remake, it still cast a shadow if it fails.
Its been 24 years since the original Point Break staring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. I'm surprised that Ericson Core is directing the remake since he already did in 2001 with a film called The Fast and The Furious. I guess since the orignal foundation of the Furious Franchise has changed from its Point Break rip off platform and has evolved into the awesome juggernaut with The Rock it was time to remind the world that Point Break was a freaking awesome movie.
I just watched the trailer after hearing a little bit about the plot from Jose Garcia (writer from Talking Through The Movies) and I've got to say, I orginally hated what I was visualizing. Lucky for me I decided to watch the trailer anyways. I was pleasently surprised. At first, I beleived Luck Bracey as Johnny Utah was doing a complete rip off of Paul Walker, which was weird because I was expecting him to be doing a complete rip of Reeves. Then as I got through each short clip the trailer began to capture me.
The idea of surfers robbing banks was awesome in the Extreme 90's but today having international banks being robbed by Extreme Athletes is so awesome I can't believe I'm not jumping off a plane and snow boarding as I type this. I'm officially on board to see this in the theaters. I already beleive that Edgar Ramirez has done a good job of severing ties from Swayzie's verson of Brodi which was something I was worried about. The movie could still wind up being a complete mess but from what I saw in the trailer I'm definitly excited.
