Oh no, are we about to see another movie classic tarnished!?? www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/This is either going to be brilliant, or a total turkey Top marks for chasing Christian Bale to be James Brolin's character. Of course, they could fluff it all up by giving the starring role to Tom Hanks with a dodgy 'tache (or come to think of it, how about a certain Mr Piana? ;D) As for the casting of Vin Diesel as the gunslinger...well, it just shows how few bald hollywood stars there are about (the great Patrick Stewart excepted ;D)!

Hmmm Yul Bryner will be a damn tough act to follow. The original was brilliant, so will be very difficult to beat or even pay homage to. I agree, this could be ok like one or two of the remakes of recent years or a total disaster like the majority of them. Time will tell.

Actually an inspired choice. Vin Diesel and Christian Bale. Its the mean moody face off of the year!

Quite possibly... though remember Bale's character (if the new film tracks the old) gets bumped off about half way through!!! It'll be a tough task for the filmmakers to find a lead with the calibre to top Bale's performance Would ideally need to be someone in their thirties... clever, but a bit geeky and awkward...yet still someone the audience want to root for. Hmmmm... KR

I think that Vin Diesel is very, very underrated. He's a reasonable actor and probably a LOT more intelligent than many might give him credit for.
Though, I'm not sure if I think he would be the best choice for the faulty robot gunslinger in Westworld. Not sure who would though- it's be someone who can really do the blank face thing well....
