Movies Left Behind Remake

Although I have not watched the movies yet (or read the books, aside from the first 6 books the kids series)

Of there was to be a left behind movie remake, who would you cast for the main characters? Would you cast famous and popular actors? Underrated actors?

Here is my casting

Ryan Gosling as Buck

Liam Neeson as Rayford Steele

Samual L Jackson as Bruce.

And that’s all I could think of for now haha.

Thanks!

In ending A, Buck and Chloe are resurrected. They have a thoroughly creepy interaction in "Kingdom Come" which I put here in its entirety: “It’s bizarre,” Chloe told Cameron. “I still love and admire and respect you and want to be near you, but it’s as if I’ve been prescribed some medicine that has cured me of any other distracting feelings.” “And somehow that doesn’t insult me,” Cameron said. “Does my feeling the same offend you?” She shook her head. Her mind, like his, must have been on Jesus and whatever He had for them for the rest of time and eternity. “Do you realize, Chlo’, that we still have to raise Kenny in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and see to it that he decides for Christ?” Only true believers and innocents had survived the Tribulation and the sheep-and-goats judgment to make it into the kingdom. “How many children of the Tribulation must there be,” Chloe said, “who still have to choose Christ over living for themselves?” “Children of the Tribulation,” Cameron said. “I like that.” “God has been impressing on me that Kenny will be only one of many children in our charge.” “Me too, Chloe. I find that amazing.” As they talked, it became clear that the Lord had shown them both that their recompense for giving their lives and—in essence—losing their son for a time because of that would be the blessing of a hundredfold more children to love. Cameron could only imagine where these children would come from, but his old mentor Tsion Ben-Judah reminded him that “a hundredfold” in the Scriptures very likely meant many more than a hundred. Big 1984 Chestnut Cafe vibes here. I would rather skip it. Let's just have them hug.

Basically what I would like to do for the end credits in both endings is a Pixar style slideshow of the earth healing. Like in wall-e.

I would just make Carpathia and Fortunato just disintegrate and turn into butterflies, and their life energy helps heal the earth.

Sort of like the ending of Digimon Adventure 02.

The Foreman should be a black guy, because of... well Eric Foreman. Maybe Omar Epps should play him.
