Yet another re-make that has no chance of living up to the original.
And another example of Hollywood's lack of original thought.

And no James Mason-types to play Nemo, unless they go true to the novel and choose someone who could pass for the son of an Indian Raja. Anyone know any Masala actors that could carry a major film?

hmm.. i'd try the south indian actor Surya.. a young, talented and hardworking actor

He is known for acting in "Ghajini" a tamil movie which borrowed the concept of Memento but has its own storyline.. this movie went on to be remade in Hindi with the same title but with Amir Khan in the lead role which in turn inspired a computer game.

I'd recommend his movie Vaaranam Ayiram, a film made for father's day

And some latin actors with dark hair could pull off the role as indian.
