If remade into another movie, heaven forbid, who do you think would play Rhett Butler?

Also, Rhett Butler's undeniable charm! I am sure Michael Fassbender is actor enough that he could infuse that.

Joaquin Phoenix could do it, maybe.
Hugh Jackman is actor enough to do an American Southern accent, I think so!
Gerard Butler - as much as I adore the man when he does anything like ... oh, well, STAND, or SIT or ... *sigh* ... what was I talking about? He doesn't have that cruel edge that Clark Gable had. That angry "Love her/Hate Her" malice and confusion that Clark Gable pulled off so well. Clark Gable was perfect - he was a man of his time, when men still thought of women as lesser beings ...
You almost need a snide/rude/condescending character - and Gerard just is too nice (well, in my head ...)
I can't see Hugh Jackman as Rhett although he'd look great in the outfits.
Johnny Depp is perfectly suave enough ... and could be cold and mean too - and broken ... he gets my vote, with RDJ as a close second. Give him 20 years and Ian Somerhalder would be a perfect Rhett.

Or he could play Scarlet . . .
Lmfao...he will have to tone down the eye liner or else he will have to play Belle.
Clive Owen or nothing. I've been completely convinced by watching him in The Knick, with a mustache and wearing clothes from 1900.Let's face it, Gerard Butler can't act. ;)
My problem is Scarlett. I can't even think of any young actresses who match her description, let alone are good actresses. If this was the 90's I'd say Jennifer Connelly.
Ashley, I've no idea. How about Ryan Gosling? He's tallish, blondish, and has that "he's considered a dreamboat but I've no idea why" quality.
But if it's got Clive Owen as Rhett, I'd watch it if the rest of the cast was CGI! :D
Matthew mcconnaughy (sp) as Rhett or Ashley ?
Rachel McAdams (dyeing the hair dark) and she would play Scarlet perfectly along with Henry Cavill or Hugh as Rhett *swoons*
Rachel mcadams?! Hardly.
NO NO NO!!!!!!!!Do not remake the movie!
Do not replace Clark Gable!
Do not mess with perfection!
No one can replace Clark gable. And a remake, is not in the process just in thought of who could ever pull off those roles... They were made classic by these pple and everything going on in the world around. Rachel isn't a bad choice. She can pull off Vivian... Clark is irreplaceable but Henry is tall, dark and yummy... Definitely good material to work with
Rachel can't act and isn't pretty enough not to mention she doesn't have the eye color. I'm sorry but that's my opinion. She's done one decent movie that happens to be a love story but that doesn't give her the credentials to play one of the most important characters in movie and book history.
I don't care, that's fine. I think no matter who they would cast in any role of the movie it would be a travesty. Why remake perfection.
I think Hugh Jackman and Leonardo would be good as Rhett, but to me, there is not one actress in Hollywood that can be Scarlett. They would have to do like they did back in the day when they searched for Scarlett ; it would be a nation wide fiasco.
I agree wholeheartedly... Clark and Vivien. Fell in love with them in their roles. Perfection
Emun Elliott as Rhett. Have to think about Scarlett for awhile.
Rhett is supposed to be sexy .
Needs to have playful eyes and a certain presence when walking into a room that demands attention, and respect.
Vanessa Eden wrote: "Rhett is supposed to be sexy ."Rhett also has to be significantly older than Scarlett. She is only a teenager at the beginning of the book and he is already a very rich man, mostly by his own means by the time he meets her.
A bit of a stretch maybe but any thoughts on James Franco? I thought his performance in, Tristan & Isolde was beautiful... Might work with the right actress
James Franco would b a good choice
Carly wrote: "Haha, definitely Bette Midler as Belle Watling!"sorry too old
Yeah, she is too old, but OMG - wouldn't she have been great, maybe 20 years ago??
She would have been awesome she has that whole buxom beauty thing going on!
Doris wrote: "how about Daniel Craig?"Daniel Craig is a great actor!!! He doesn't really look the part but I am convinced he is suave enough and charismatic enough to pull it off.
It would need to be an actor who, while he takes his craft seriously, doesn't take himself too seriously. He needs to be capable of infusing the character with a sense of roguery and disguising his feelings behind a facade of perpetual amusement at the import everyone around him assigns to everything.
Matthew McConaughey would be sooooo good as Rhett Butler. :D
I think Matt is a little past his prime in good looks... Maybe 10yrs ago... He can definitely play with arrogance and heart throb all in one. Not a bad choice. What about Orlando bloom... I'm still getting the "Tall and dark" image from his pirate debut back in POTC
I wouldn't mind seeing Mark Warburg in a period piece.... Idk about his speech tho.I think Alexander Skarsgård would be a shoe in for playing Ashley. But you would need a strong "Rhett" to play off of him.
I vote for Karl Urban as Rhett, masculine and dangerous... yeah, he could make it work.
Ian Somerhalder- Rhett butlerMila Kunis/Rachel Mcadams - scarlett
Ryan reynolds - Ashley
Kate winslet - melanie
If Kate Winslet were still in her 20's, she would be the perfect Scarlett.
ya :) what do you think abt ian as Rhett?! tailor made role right!?
Annette wrote: "ya :) what do you think abt ian as Rhett?! tailor made role right!?"Nope. Too dainty.
Lol :) if people think he can pull off the role of Christian grey , I think he would definitely make a good Rhett
The Christian Grey character isn't all that masculine. Somerhalder's a good choice for him. He has that effete aura.

Viggo Mortensen for Rhett?Wouldn't it be fascinating if they remade it, but sort of in the way of Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo Di Caprio? Same plot, same lines but modern setting? Hopefully not the 80's with all of the neon pants and such and definitely nothing with special effects or zombies.
Renee wrote: "The Christian Grey character isn't all that masculine. Somerhalder's a good choice for him. He has that effete aura."I have to agree on that one :)
I'm sorry but I just don't think Mila Kunis can't act. She butchered the wicked witch in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.Rachel isn't pretty enough.

I love both mila and Rachel :) but my fav is Kristen stewart but I don't think she is suitable for either role
Idk about Kristin Stewart either. I will have to look her up . :)
she acted in #twilight #bella s role
Oh god! I know who she is now.
ya :) what was the reaction for?! lol :)
I think your right she wouldn't be a great Scarlett but she would be an interesting belle. She could play her kinda mysterious and dark in a sexy way.I've never seen or read Twilight btw, but I know who she is.
