Robert Downey Jr. was also considered but wanted too many script changes.
Where is Jim Carrey? tsk tsk .. talk about a role made for him.
maybe Spielberg could re-make Gunga Din or do a sequel to ET or Close Encounters instead.

Al Gore with some script changes.

Why? Why? Why?
If Hollywood is that talented, come up with something new!
I have an idea; researching it for years. Don't have the talent to write a script.
Why do these fools want to fool with the classics?

Not enough mugging in it for Carrey’s inestimable talent.

It’s the lack of special effects that made it, well, special.

Hanks was not that enthusiastic about the prospect of stepping into the legendary Stewart's footsteps. A wise move. He knows his limitations.

Then don’t remake it. The whole charm of the movie is we don’t see the rabbit.

Well, I’m glad that Hanks realizes his limitations. He could never fill Jimmy Stewart’s shoes.

I agree. Most of the DVds and Blu-rays I watch are of classic films. Harvey is over-rated anyway, and would never go over with today's Michael Bay fans.

Not a great movie, but a great watch. Stewart in his most eccentric role. I don’t love it, but I like it.

...Hanks was not that enthusiastic about the prospect of stepping into the legendary Stewart's footsteps...There's not an actor today that could hold a candle to any of the greats like Stewart.

I thought he already did a movie that Stewart had done before. (You’ve Got Mail, rehash of Little Shop Around the Corner)

But the industry daily Variety said Friday that Hanks was not that enthusiastic about the prospect of stepping into the legendary Stewart's footsteps. Which shows that he is in fact smarter than a box of rocks. That is Jimmy Stewart's role and cannot be replayed by anyone.

The whole charm of the movie is we dont see the rabbit.But we do, at the very end, see his silhouette through the office door.

Would Al Gore play Dowd or Harvey? He'd be better in the latter role, so we don't have to see him.
Nobody would be able to surpass Jimmy Stewart. Before remaking Harvey, they should remake Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, and Birth of a Nation.
Also Triumph of the Will, but that needs to be an adaptation rather than a remake--Triumph of Hope and Change, to fit the era of Obama.
