I never missed it when it was first shown as a Teen, and have caught it last year on one of the satalite channels still fun. |

I can't believe that no-one has made a new version of Remington Steele. Remington Steele hypothetical movie dream cast: hypothetical ‘Remington Steele’ movie It’s Thursday, so it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast. This week: Remington Steele, the 1982-7 NBC romantic comedy series about a female private detective, Laura Holt, who hired a former con man, alias Remington Steele (possible real name: Harry Chalmers), as a front man for her PI agency, because, you know: Who would hire a lady detective? Of course, you could cut the sexual tension between the two of them with a knife. When the show grew into its own in its second season, a former IRS agent, Mildred Krebs, came onboard as the agency’s secretary, third investigator, and mother figure. (This week’s Dream Cast topic was suggested by my friend Bonnie offline; if you have a suggestion for an 80s TV show or movie we should play with and don’t see me in person to share it, feel free to email me.) The original cast featured: Remington Steele/Harry Chalmers: Pierce Brosnan Laura Holt: Stephanie Zimbalist Mildred Krebs: Doris Roberts There’s two options for a movie version. Either it has to go retro, back to the 80s, because no one would believe today that a woman would not be taken seriously as an investigator of crime. Or it has to switch things up by, perhaps, positing a male PI who’s so young (or so young looking, or so not-PI looking) that he’s not taken seriously, and so he hires a (slightly) older and more experienced woman as his front. Mildred can probably stay Mildred, though, in either case. Here’s my dream cast for the retro remake: Remington Steele/Harry Chalmers: David Tennant Laura Holt: Mariska Hargitay Mildred Krebs: Julie Walters And for the gender-switcher remake: Remington Steele/Mary Chalmers: Catherine Zeta-Jones Larry Holt: Colin Hanks Mildred Krebs: Julie Walters (I think our modern female Steele could keep the name “Remington” -- it sounds gender nonspecific enough, in the same way that names like “Madison” and “Sydney” do.) Who’s in your dream cast? Look, it’s 80s-licious! Edited by brosnan007, Jan 11 2012, 09:48 PM.

I think the series should be left alone. |

It will probably be remade cheaply and cancelled after 8 episodes. |

I've heard that Barbara Broccoli has bought the rights to Remington Steele and Daniel Craig is going to play Remington.
