Seems silly not to try this since the show is doing so well. Who would be a great Dr. King?

I think they need a star to keep this going...what about Daniel Radcliffe? He should be free by then.

In all seriousness what about Denzel Washington? I think he would make a really good MLK and he certainly has the star power. I don't know if this would be practical/if he's involved with any projects right now but that would be my dream.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Doubtful Washington would take a replacement role, but no doubt he would be great.

I'd like to see it with Flavor Flav and Jennifer Holliday.

Chris Brown and Rihanna! Any publicity is good publicity?

Unless I'm reading this incorrectly, it sounds like they only are looking to recast Jackson, not Bassett, and even then, only temporarily.

More interesting to me, though, is the possibility of a filming. That would be nice.
