Hi!

If Network (1976) was made this decade of 2020s, who would be in your cast?

not a remake! think: if Chayefsky’s screenplay had only been brought to surface decades later. It could still be set in 70’s TV or adapted to modern forms of media.

P.S. looking to try bringing back this series of fan casting classic ensembles. credit to recent GD users who reignited this idea.
