If it was re-made not as Manns but just another version, perhaps closer to the book who would you be happy with in the roles?
I only had one thought so far but I think Sean Wei Mah would make a fantastic Uncas.

odd read...but that was for a complete re-make of Mann's version. I was thinking a new version (like closer to the book) so it's easier to pick and see other people in the roles.
Althought the suggestion of Carl Urban as Hawkeye could be good... |

If Sean Wei Mah was Uncas I'd be first in line. I absolutely love that man, he is sooooooooooooooooooo beautiful! |

Hmmm . . . he would make a good Uncas. All I can think of for now is maybe Natalie Dormer for Alice. She can have the very delicate look that Alice is supposed to have in the book:

Anne Boleyn...now there's a thought. Wouldn't she be too old though at 26 to play Alice?. Have not seen her in anything else other than "The Tudors". |

Nothing like stage makeup to take the years away. I think she'd be a good Alice. |

I suppose and she is only 26, which is still pretty young. She could pass for a teenager. |

I'm soon to be 33 (yikes!) and have been mistaken for 23-25 depending on whose looking. No one expects to hear 30-something. Not even the people carding at clubs.
The last time I went they called the police, though I was trying to pass off a fake ID because of my date of birth!

-Weldone-definately-Natalie Dormer for Alice,not sure about Sean Wei Mah-maybe have to disagree there ladies....can not replace Uncas...he has such a distinguish look remember....the actor Sean Wei Mah looks loverly though,but would have maybe bring back Eric for this final roll as Uncas ~that would be Crazy i know...but have to say-and mentioned before....make up can do wonders....and a strict plan to work out and be 20 years younger...it can happen....i know the actor Jodhi May *Alice...dose look so young in the film..and making a remake...maybe not so good..but maybe *The last of the Mohicans-20 years on....but thinking of a catchy title to catch people attention also...with a...continued story ofthere lives and add with on the bonus feature on the dvd on release..aswell..sounds good huh! But a remake ...i do not beleive in remakes....look at the remake on ...Pride And prejudice.....not very atal i felt...no way near as amazing as the original. |
Hi,im very much Interested in joining you all.I would love to know more about this venture.This would be my first time/so making new freinds in this community would be amazing. |

Let's see about other casting....
I like Charlie Cox for Duncan. He was so cute in Stardust and he plays the bumbling romantic hero well. After all, that's what he would have to be if we were making a version of LOTM that was true to the book. Duncan would pretty much be our main character. Weird to think of, eh? Image Insert:

Here he is looking like a wistful young lover: Image Insert:

As for Hawkeye, what about Viggo Mortenson? Cooper's Hawkeye is supposed to be tall, unhandsome, and with stringy muscles. Not that Viggo is unhandsome, but I think that he could make a passable Hawkeye with a nice, weathered look like he had in Hidalgo (though maybe not as cowboyish). Ahhhh, Viggo. Image Insert:

And finally, to prove that I really have thought too much about this topic (instead of doing my work), here's my suggestion for Cora, who is supposed to be partially of African descent. I thought this woman was absolutely beautiful in Denzel's Deja Vu. Her name is Paula Patton.

RedFraggle great casting....i agree with you...so that leaves the parts of Uncas and Alice...Eric has to come back for the remake/also Alice.....Natalie Dormer great choice RedFraggle... Great casting from you all..and remember what i said about make-up....im sure Eric will look great....i know its 17 years on for Eric...but he still looks cute/beautiful features and im sure make-up artists aswell as training him back to the way he was in 1991...should not be a prob...if he realy worked at it..call me crazy... |

Caitlin, I've been too busy with teaching to get on here lately and came back to find this rather interesting posting about an LOTM remake. I'm reading along taking in everyone's thoughts/opinions and then I read your comment and laughed out loud. That is so funny.
In all seriousness, though, I doubt if Eric is a person to try to "remake" past achievements. I don't know, but I would bet that LOTM is over and done with for him. So, we'll have to get someone else for Chingachgook, I guess. |

I'm with you Kirachi, Sean Wei Mah is HOT!! But my heart will ALWAYS have a place for Eric circa 1992 as Uncas (in fact, he is #4 on my personal list of most beautiful appearances by a man ever). |

I had actually been wondering about that. Are you, by any chance, Japanese by race or descent? |
