Fantasy Cast: Who Should Play Luther in ‘The Warriors’ Remake

Tony Scott is the planned director for the remake of ‘The Warriors.’   To be set in LA, the film still looks to have the same, basic concept of the ’79 original.   A group of 10 gang members must get from one point to the other, while all the other gangs in the city are attempting to take them out.

The main villain of the ’79 film was Luther, played with devilish care by David Patrick Kelly.

And who can forget this standout moment of the film:

Who the hell can fill that man’s shoes?   Well, that is the question we submit to you on today’s edition of Fantasy Cast.   Who should play Luther in the remake of ‘The Warriors’?   The character, without a doubt, should be carried over to the remake, but the real question is who could possibly top or even match David Patrick Kelly’s original take?

James from Gordon and the Whale says the role should go to Sean Penn:

He’s got the chops, both acting-wise and chin-wise.   He’s definitely a name that could be attached to the film.   Of course, James snickered right after he mentioned this choice, and the general thought is there is no way in hell Penn would “lower” himself to play the villain of a ‘Warriors’ remake.
