If remade, The Hours would probably work really well as a miniseries. Here would be the cast if it were produced by Ryan Murphy for Netflix lol:

Chloë Zevigny as Virginia Woolf
Jessica Chastain as Laura Brown
Sarah Paulson as Clarissa Vaughan
Tom Hiddleston as Leonard Woolf
Kate Winslet as Vanessa Bell
Billy Crudup as Dan Brown
Neil Patrick Harris as Richard “Richie” Brown
Matt Bomer as Louis Waters
Lily Rabe as Kitty
Connie Britton as Sally Lester
Jo Ellen Pellman as Julia Vaughan
Patti LuPone as Mrs. Latch

This is hard because I think The Hours is perfectly cast, except for Nicole Kidman. Kidman just didn’t do it for me—it was like look I’m acting!. Moore & Streep hit me like a train car, Kidman took me out of it. She was fine, maybe it was the intensely prosthetic nose.

I’m going to choose actors who are roughly the age the original cast was then, since…it’s been a while since the film came out!

Virginia Woolf – Rebecca Hall
Laura Brown – Kirsten Dunst
Clarissa Vaughan – Olivia Colman

Leonard Woolf – Ben Whishaw
Vanessa Bell – Jena Malone/Vanessa Kirby
Richard Brown – Michael Fassbender
Sally Lester – Laura Linney
Julia Vaughan – Eliza Scanlen
Kitty – Laura Dern

Justice for Passing, Tessa Thompson & Ruth Negga.

The Power of the Dog / Jane Campion / Benedict Cumberbatch / Kristen Stewart / Kirsten Dunst / Troy Kotsur

No need to recast perfection. But casting for a limited series made today, that’s something worth considering, I guess.

Aha, I would be so down for The Hours to be remade as a mini-series because I still think there is so much that can be done with it maybe giving each timeline and individual episode. So here’s who I would cast

Virginia Woolf – Lady Gaga (I maintain she’d nail it)
Leonard Woolf – Alexander Skarsgård
Vanessa Bell – Samantha Morton

Laura Brown – Rose Byrne
Dan Brown – Matthew Macfadyen

Kitty – Shailene Woodley

Clarissa Vaughan – Gillian Anderson
Richard Brown – Guy Pearce

Sally Lester – Rachel McAdams

The train station scene between Virginia and Leonard is heart breaking. The acting is beyond superb! I cannot understand why Stephen Dillane was not given more recognition for his performance.
