Admittedly, I wasn’t supposed to do another remake article this soon, but due to scheduling issues on my part, I bring you the first remake article of the year! When I was a kid, Mars Attacks completely traumatized me. It wasn’t until I watched it again many years later that I realized it’s a comedy. I’m now very happy I was able to add it to my collection and now I get to add it to this series! This movie had a hell of a star-studded cast and I’m very happy with my choices. As always, I made my choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performances. I hope you enjoy and let me know who you’d cast! (REMINDER: this is just hypothetical fun! I respect everyone mentioned, and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!!)
