| RE: Kermode |
Fassbender would be perfect for Doyle, and Bana works for me too. Bodie along the lines of the Marine Bana played in Black Hawk Down would be great. If not I'd go with Tom Hardy as Bodie. As for Statham, while he'd bring the action goods, I seriously doubt he has a decent performance in him and Fassbender would act him off the screen. I guess more importantly than anything else would the chemistry whichever two leads you go with have. That's the real key.
Wonder if they're going to go ori More

Marshall said on Mayo and Kermode's Radio 5 show that he's pretty much after Fassbender as Doyle and he's thinking Eric Banner Bodie. More

| RE: Connery............ |
pretty much what others have said here but:
Doyle = Jude Law looks alot like Martin Shaw (without the perm) but probably a little too old now...so maybe Tom Hardy? (but then hes Mad Max now)
Bodie = Fassbender with a black dye would look a little like Collins or G Bulter (or is he too old now?...im assuming they'll want B&D to be in their early 30s at the most)
Cowley = the usual big name suspects - Caine, Hoskins, Winstone, Patrick Stewart, Tel Stamp, B Cox, McKellan, R Finnes, More

Look to the Professionals of the new noughties Rupert Penry-Jones as Doyle and Richard Armitage as Bodie. Or Matthew Marsden (last seen in TF3 as a SAS liason) as Bodie and Tom Hardy as Doyle. Both starred in Black Hawk Down. Ciaran Hinds or Michael Kitchen as Cowley. More

Dominic West as Doyle and Bulter or Purefoy as Bodie.
Philip Glennister would be good as Cowley - a sort of Gene Hunt without the wisecracks. Otherwise, give it to Ray Winstone. More

Michael Fassbender as Doyle and The Stath as Bodie, plus Michael Caine as Cowley would be great!
Always loved the show and still watch the odd repeat on ITV3. What's surprising is how nasty it occasionally gets, they'd never get away with half of the stuff on a primetime show these days.

OK, this was one of my fave shows when I was a kid - and having seen it recently it still kind of holds up (though sadly not Doyle's perm, or Bodie's penchant for tight jeans) - so basically colour me excited. More
