A modern cast for Alien

[Feral_PRED]

If you had the chance to replace the cast of Alien by modern actors, who would you choose?

[Nightmare Asylum]

Could I just change the film to feature an older cast instead, so as to keep the actors?

In all seriousness, I really don't know...I'd need some time to think on this one.

Cvalda, RagingDragon, 

Though, based on the striking resemblence, Ferro's part was already assigned to Lady Gaga!  J. Roberts couldn't pull off both successfully, anyway...

Anyone who saw The Avengers, in the episode when lanky mid-aged guy in the cap greets shrinked Hulk and throws him trousers and asks whether that one is "alien, from outer space", didn't it ring you a bell of Brett character? (Probably, that was mentioned already on this forum). I thought all this scene was unambiguous reference to Alien!

I don't know if it was specifically intended to reference Alien, but being that it was Harry Dean Stanton, the connection is definitely there

Damn, I was lazy to check it out, thanks, Nightmare Asylum!
