The film, directed by David Fincher, is having trouble finding an actor to play the lead, Ned Land (played by Kirk Douglas in the 1954 classic), with Brad Pitt having turned it down and things not working out with Channing Tatum. As a result of the delays, the earliest the film could be released is likely 2015. Who do you think would be a good chocie?</p>

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I really just can't feel sorry for a production that is being held up, because they forgot to cast one of the lead roles. How long have they been working on this remake now? 5+ years? And they are just now realizing that they can't find anybody to play the lead? Sounds like the production is in for a long road ahead of them... >>Luckily Paris Hilton is available.<< I thought this was supposed to be a family film?
