I think it's time for a remake. Either a direct remake or an homage. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.
Thoughts?

Starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling! Directed by Michael Bay!

This is one of my top 25 films of all time. Breathtaking suspense and action directed by the master!
I feel any reboot will be lame and pale by comparison.

Just watched it too, i totally agree with you on the writing but don't blame hitchcock for that since he isn't the one who wrote it. Also, it was the 50's so it's normal that the action scene with the plane explosion looks cheap 60 years later.

While I voted Clooney, I agree with you that John Hamm looks the part, too. And, to be fair, I'm not entirely worried about the whole Don Draper thing, there are a lot of actors still working who are essentially the same character type in role after role. A brand is hard to overcome (John Malkovich doesn't seem to land a lot of leading roles in rom-coms, right? Nor does Tom Hanks blow shit up very often, although he was believable in Road to Perdition and does have the chops, still I don't expect him doing a Die Hard chapter) and not a deal breaker.

I'm with the stop remaking movies already crowd. Besides every James Bond film is a bit of a homage to NBN. It's like taking whatever song was popular in 1959and having whatever music act is popular today rerecord it. It will just be a lame novelty and forgotten. Didn't work for Charlie's Angels

It’s nigh impossible to remake North by Northwest in today’s cinema environment. The resulting film would be far inferior. Audiences now just want flash and action. They don’t really care about character development or good dialogue or quality craftsmanship / filmmaking. Just look at all the remakes or reboots lately. How many are better than the original? Name one right now! If you can, I’ll give it a chance and check it out.... but I’m not optimistic....

No need for a remake or recast. Soon we could probably get a sequel starring Grant himself. :-(

No remake. The original stands alone as a unique moment in film and world history. Although everyone acted well in it there were too many famous faces in it even among bit players. Still the best and most unique movie. Cannot be remade.
)A sort of similarly plotted film was done with the 1982 Gene Wilder film 'Hanky Panky' ( with an airplane scene inside a plane subbing for the cropduster scene in NBN). But the later film was far from actually being a remake. )

The remake has already been made. Vincent Gallo plays Cary Grant
Quite a thrashing they gave that scene, and rightly so 😂 (in Hitch's defense, I'm sure he meant it to be mind blowingly absurd).

In my opinion...
So, there's potentially three, just off the top of my head. Remakes are a gamble, no doubt; but then, so is any movie production. I'm often intrigued by any attempt to take on the legacy of a great movie, and keen to see how remakes approach the source material and do it justice while, where possible, taking it in a fresh direction; when they do both, it's movie magic. When they don't, it seems particularly lazy. So, you'll either get a home run or a strike out.
Again, with so much I could criticize about NbNW, I'd be intrigued to see an attempt at a modern interpretation - for me, having not loved the original, it'd hard to do worse! But, for those who love it, I can appreciate that odds are low it could be done justice a 2nd time around.
Sadly (for me), I see no such project in the offing, so we may be left with what it was as is, and to speculate on what could have been.

I agree. May I go to the bathroom?
I would also emphatically add Soderbergh’s remake of Solaris. He took a pretentious windbag of a movie and gave it real psychological depth (thanks of course to Clooney’s & Jeremy Davies’ fantastic performances).
Also Three’s Company was way better than the original. John Ritter ‘nuff said
And Jimi Hendrix’s version of Hey Joe.

Three’s Company can’t count, that’s a tv show. But yeah, JohnRitter! :)
Never saw the originals for Ocean’s 11 or Thomas Crown, so can’t comment there, but I think Solaris is a decent choice. I liked the Clooney film, too.
