"Gator's" triumphant return.....Advice for Quentin Tarantino.....

I mentioned in a previous post that with the buzz for "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"-Quentin Tarantino's take on the Manson Murders-it looks great in the previews-that talk has resumed of him doing a "White Lightning" remake. I said in a couple of previous posts that I didn't think it was a good idea, mainly because the original was so damn good that it would be hard to match or improve on. I now have an idea that he could improve on it. Other re-made classics I didn't like-"True Grit" and "Psycho" both come to mind-because the directors basically tried to do a shot by shot remake with no originality or vision. "White Lightning" would have to be set in the late '60's or early '70's. You'd have the social turmoil of the civil rights movement and the Viet Nam war as a backdrop for this southern-fried revenge tale. You'd have the musclecars. As for casting I'd say for "Gator" I'd try to get Brad Pitt. He's from Missouri-and he's played evil southerners well before. Early Grace in "Kalifornia" was masterful.  Matthew McConaughey would be good as well. Remember "Mud" ?   For the evil sheriff J.C. Connors I think Don Johnson would be perfect. The Immortal "Shake-a-Puddin" ?  Jennifer Billingsley's performance will be hard to match. My choice would be Pam Anderson. She's still got a smokin' body, the tattoo's are perfect for a trailer park barbie,and she has gorgeous feet. ( In the original, Shake-a Puddin" was barefoot almost the entire movie )  QT has a major foot fetish that he's publicly admitted to and you see it in all his films ( Rosario Dawson's in "Death Proof!!" ) and the flick would definitely be enhanced with a some lingering shots of her fire-engine red toes, and dirty soles, and tanned legs. If Pam was unavailable I'd try to get Charlize Theron. I also know QT likes to cast black actors in roles that were designed for white people-"Jackie Brown" comes to mind. ( In the Elmore Leonard novel "Rum Punch" that Jackie Brown was based on-Jackie was a Pam Anderson type blonde. However Pam Grier did awesome in the role ) If he wanted to throw a curveball on "Shake-a-Puddin" Lexx Scott-Davis ( "Superfly", The Purge ) is a stunningly beautiful black woman that can hold her own in very macho movies. In addition to taking money from the whiskey business the evil J.C. Connors could also have a piece of drug dealers and whorehouses and illegal casinos-kinda like "Walking Tall".   The other thing I would do besides Gator wanting revenge for his brother's murder would be to have a Big NASCAR Race in town and Gator and his friends could plot to rob it and steal all the cash from the concession and souvenier sales. I think that would have a great deal of suspense and action opportunities.  If anyone can pull it off QT would be the man to do it.  Mastermind
