Many remakes bomb just because the new casting can’t equal the original, unique casting, despite having good production values.

Would you still watch a remake, if you see in trailers new actors that don’t appeal to you if compared to the orignal casting?

Examples. Total Recall, the future Highlander, etc…

Also, name remakes that you hated most for their bad casting.

Personally, I will not watch the new Highlander, because nobody can match original cast uniqueness. But I enjoyed new Total Recall, because the actor was good, and the new script was better.
