George Clooney is 5'11" and Colin Firth is 6'1".....they are compatible in height and their could be good chemistry for these rolls.
Michael Caine could be a great selection as the Judge. He is 6'2", although he just might be in the wheel chair for most of the film. Although, it was shown that he didn't need the wheelchair after all. My thoughts.
i think this is a wonderful idea,and hugh grant and george clooney are good choices. the only blot on the horizon,is grants foppishness,he does'nt come over as a hardman,maybe clive owen?
exellent little video!...Of course ther's no chance for such a movie...BUT, one would hope for a miniseries from HBO, Showtime or some such cable channel.
Well, the original only ran one season because it flopped in US. If they should ever try it again, I hope they bring in some new talents to play Brett and Danny but I really doubth that it will get as success full in Europe again. Maybe a film that show them from their childhood and up to where the series start.

Hi Missfanari, Mmmm I do like Ralph Fiennes but I still think Daniel could do a good LBS - he can do a good bored posh bloke, and he looks like he always smells nice.
All that hard work and you gave the titla name as "The Persuders". One of the many shows that fed my childhood in the 70's. I've gotten old too quickly but thankfully, YouTube threw me a rope and shouted "Hey? You want nostalgia....?".
Be careful... Just think what they did to John Steed and Emma Peel when doing a remake. Or to Dave Starsky and Ken Hutchison... When this remake is ever done (this trailer is brillant) it should persuade new generations of what a TV milestone "The Persuaders" really was. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
Nagyon tetszik ez a bemutató Geroge Clooney-val, de szerintem Hugh Grant nem a megfelelő ember Bratt Sinclair helyére. Az igazi PERSUADERS: TONY CURTIS és ROGER MOORE! Ők a legjobbak, és senki nem tudja úgy játszani a szerepüket....
I really like this version of the music wish it would be used in a remake of the series into a movie of the Persuaders. Though I do have issues about your choice of actors even though it is just a video idea I am certain their is an excellent choice of mature actors who would fit the roles. I just hope if they ever decide to make a new version they don't turn it into a Disney crap fest that would be an insult!
You got to be kidding me! George Clooney and Hugh Grant, I can’t stand Hugh Grant, I mind George Clooney can we have someone else in the British lead role.
Sir Micheal Caine as the Judge-Yes.Hugh Grant as Brett-NO! George Clooney as Danny-NO What are they thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to the drawing board guys!
Robert Downey Jnr and Daniel Craig would make a great 'Persuaders!' team !! Though having said that I do think The Persuaders! as was made in the 70s could not be made now, all the Americans like is testosterone-heavy, explosion-packed, gadget-ridden, technology-full drama - not tongue in cheek, light hearted, suspend your disbelief fun like Roger and Tony offered in abundance :-(
That did just fine in America. And also you might be interested to know Adam Sandler WAS going to do The Persuaders with Owen Wilson (shudders) but recently there's been a real effort to make it faithful, not just a stupid spoof since movies like Casino Royale sold well and movies like Startsky and Hutch bombed.
@sofamp3 Hi there - I think whoever might play the two parts would need to be very different characters, and I think that Hugh Jackman might be too much of a 'dude', to play LBS, (if you know what I mean?) and would need to be more 'British' - hey I've just had a thought - what about CLIVE OWEN for LBS? he's suave, sexy, and could do the bored British toff with a sense of humour v. well, I think he'd be good against Robert Downey !!!
@MultiHumptyDumpty yes but LBs is also too much. he's much more sophittaced than easy going casual americal danny wildie. he's got "dark sence of humor" like jackman could be as we see in most of his movies he smiles less but sasy funny things like LBS. so tha's what i thought. and also hugh jackman looks like an "aristocrat" he's tall dark handsome, while daniel craig looks like "butler" to some aristrocrat. he doesn't have in his personality what it takes to b LBS or even james bond
@sofamp3 - Hmmm ... not sure about Hugh Jackman as LBS, even though he is gorgeous !! Thinking caps back on!! Call me old-fashioned but I think he needs to be a Brit (and I'm not even British!)
Brad Pitt as Dany Wilde and Ewan MacGregor as Brett Sinclair would be a better choice. However, since these characters are original to Tony Curtis and Roger Moore, I don't think any replacements would work as good.
I agree, definitely not Hugh Grant - it would have to be DANIEL CRAIG as LBS (plenty of footage of him in an Aston, eh!) and George Clooney as DW (and maybe Michael Gambon as Judge Fulton??). Would love to see a video composite with those actors in it (hint hint ...) Tony Curtis and Roger Moore had fantastic chemistry together, they looked as if they ad libbed and joked their way through every episode and were so natural! They must have liked each other in real life! LOVE THE VIDEO - well done!
Hmmm, Clooney is well cast but Hugh Grant? Eeeek. What about James McEvoy? He's Scottish and perhaps a bit young but at least he's got balls...and he can act. Then there's Sean Bean, possibly Jude Law, Colin Farrell but he's Irish, Ralph Fiennes would be interesting too. and do something with the theme music. great starting point but bring it up to date. There would be so much about this film that you could contemporize.

I am usually not a fan of tv to film remakes(THE AVENGERS,anybody--anyone?) but this might well be an idea that would work, especially with the casting you suggest.
it would have big screen action, but all three stars can also do the comic patter the original stars did.Bravo. Where did you find this mix of music?
Great idea, tho much as I like Hugh Grant, he's just not the right choice for Moore's role. Tho none of the names that come to my mind among British actors right now quite satisfies. Clooney and Caine are great choices.
George Clooney and Michael Caine are perfect. Hugh Grant's a no-no though. How about Toby Stephens or Damian Lewis playing Brett Sinclair...Hard Toffs!
@ruantengyi There's no such thing as 'British'. Britain is a "state of nations" - i.e. Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is NOT a "nation state." Hence, one cannot be 'British' - it is not a nationality.
Great "trailer"...thanks. This is certainly far more a appealing than the other remakes made lately - It's too bad the "I Spy" remake was so 'clownish'....
What about Rupert Penry-Jones as a candidate for Brett, he certainly looks and sounds the part.
After all Brett is a Lord so no point in casting an actor that looks like he is off the mean streets. Agree with asconator re using 70s cars. The 246 gt has to be one of the sexiest cars built.
Got to make it "Politically Correct" , so how about Mos Def as Danny Wilde and Keira Knightley as Lady Sinclair? And of course, due to Global Warming, you can't have them driving round in gas-guzzling supercars, so how about.... uhm , a red and a yellow Toyota Prius. I think Hollywood would be able to make that work without detracting from the soul of the original series.
The theme evokes very powerfully all the glamour of the world of Vegas, beautiful expensive classy women, 60s/early 70's London, playboys, Bond, Southern Europe, warm nights, luxurious cuisine, danger, and 1971 as an 11 year old.
@ptfp111 HOW COULD ANY ONE CALL A McLaren F1 A PICE OF CRAP CLEAERLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKIN ABOUT...........HOUGH GRANT YES AND THE NAME IS LORD BRETT SINCLARE........FROM A VERY BIG FAN......
@ptfp111 I couldn't agree more on the choice of car; Sinclair would drive a comfortably-leathery car, not a piece of plastic indeed! Did they watch the original?!
George cloony as danny and the bad guy from die another day as brett l forget his name its toby some thing any way hes a good actor they were going to do a new persuaders in the 80s it was going to have ian ogilvy as brett and george peppard as danny but peppard went on to do the a_team instead
toby stephens? but you think he's big enough for this idea?
but yeah hugh grant is just a little bit too much of a fucking confused weed, always stuttering over some shit. maybe a good match for clooney would be ralph fiennes?
plenty of solid, man's man, actors, but do the brits have an actor in 50 age-range to match clooney right now? :
LOL, right age - but however I turn it, I just cant buy Ray Winstone as some kind of smooth-talking International playboy.....in that context and age-range, don't think we have anyone no-one that wouldn't look like some kind of a loser compared to Clooney...
yep. maybe, at a push - bit young and, from what I see, he's out of a the same case stamped "Basically: Hard" as Winstone. Could he really turn up the smooth to match clooney without looking like an arsehole?... The more I think about it, matching up to Clooney is a tall order....someone said Daniel Craig. Ideal but we can't ONLY have Craig, can we FFS? I'm gonna put Gerard Butler in the ring.
Good. No the I only have a thing about is this academic question of MATCHING him, like for like, with a Brit contemporary for this fantasy movie - because I agree he'd be right for this. What puzzles me is the fact is it looks like we really can't....
But I youre right. Also movies and targets have changed and Cary Grant, David Niven types aren't required for the kinds of movies that get made now....a new Persuaders would likely end up more like Miami Vice, with those types of lead actor....
@DaveBTHunt - So, you are a mysterious man like 007!- lol. I totally understand and agree with your opinion. I don`t think the "mood" of classic`s can be recaptured. The bond film`s have lost a lot of "charm" IMO due to political correctness!.

Nah, I don't see Clooney and Grant as good replacements for Roger and Tony - they're both too old and have personas that are too well known.
My picks would be Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) as Danny Wild, and Matthew Goode (Leap Year, Brideshead Revisited) as Brett Sinclair.
Michael Caine is a good pick for the Judge, though. Anthony Hopkins would be alright too.

colin Firth and Hugh Jackman are better choices for Brett Sinclair, Hugh Grant seems to weak for playing action characters.

How about pierce brosnan for Brett Sinclair? Clooney would do an incredible Danny Wilde.

@ruantengyi There's no such thing as 'British'. Britain is a "state of nations" - i.e. Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is NOT a "nation state." Hence, one cannot be 'British' - it is not a nationality.

What about Rupert Penry-Jones as a candidate for Brett, he certainly looks and sounds the part.
After all Brett is a Lord so no point in casting an actor that looks like he is off the mean streets. Agree with asconator re using 70s cars. The 246 gt has to be one of the sexiest cars built.

Got to make it "Politically Correct" , so how about Mos Def as Danny Wilde and Keira Knightley as Lady Sinclair? And of course, due to Global Warming, you can't have them driving round in gas-guzzling supercars, so how about.... uhm , a red and a yellow Toyota Prius. I think Hollywood would be able to make that work without detracting from the soul of the original series.

The theme evokes very powerfully all the glamour of the world of Vegas, beautiful expensive classy women, 60s/early 70's London, playboys, Bond, Southern Europe, warm nights, luxurious cuisine, danger, and 1971 as an 11 year old.
I've just been transported to wonderland!!!

George cloony as danny and the bad guy from die another day as brett l forget his name its toby some thing any way hes a good actor they were going to do a new persuaders in the 80s it was going to have ian ogilvy as brett and george peppard as danny but peppard went on to do the a_team instead
nickic272 2 years ago
toby stephens? but you think he's big enough for this idea?
but yeah hugh grant is just a little bit too much of a fucking confused weed, always stuttering over some shit. maybe a good match for clooney would be ralph fiennes?
plenty of solid, man's man, actors, but do the brits have an actor in 50 age-range to match clooney right now? :
DaveBTHunt 2 years ago
Dave. Ray Winstone!!.
jjmm112 2 years ago
LOL, right age - but however I turn it, I just cant buy Ray Winstone as some kind of smooth-talking International playboy.....in that context and age-range, don't think we have anyone no-one that wouldn't look like some kind of a loser compared to Clooney...
DaveBTHunt 2 years ago
Dave. Scott Maslan?....
jjmm112 2 years ago
yep. maybe, at a push - bit young and, from what I see, he's out of a the same case stamped "Basically: Hard" as Winstone. Could he really turn up the smooth to match clooney without looking like an arsehole?... The more I think about it, matching up to Clooney is a tall order....someone said Daniel Craig. Ideal but we can't ONLY have Craig, can we FFS? I'm gonna put Gerard Butler in the ring.
DaveBTHunt 2 years ago
@DaveBTHunt - Clicked your channel- fuck all appeared!. You seem to have a thing about Clooney!. Butler is Scottish ( as is Connery- as you know
), Can`t think of any english actor that can "take the place" of Moore, those "type`s! are no more.........
jjmm112 2 years ago
Good. No the I only have a thing about is this academic question of MATCHING him, like for like, with a Brit contemporary for this fantasy movie - because I agree he'd be right for this. What puzzles me is the fact is it looks like we really can't....
But I youre right. Also movies and targets have changed and Cary Grant, David Niven types aren't required for the kinds of movies that get made now....a new Persuaders would likely end up more like Miami Vice, with those types of lead actor....
DaveBTHunt 2 years ago
@DaveBTHunt - So, you are a mysterious man like 007!- lol. I totally understand and agree with your opinion. I don`t think the "mood" of classic`s can be recaptured. The bond film`s have lost a lot of "charm" IMO due to political correctness!.
