That's always been my theory as well.
However, I've always believed that any Alan recast (after Christopher Bernau) needed to be British and/or classically trained. Someone like Jeremy Brett, for example, or Edward Woodward (even though Woodward would've been too old and Brett passed away in '95). He didn't have to have dark features, but he needed an ability to project a quieter sort of menace than Raines was CLEARLY incapable of.
And even if GL had to go the musical theatre actor route, for whatever reason, they still could've done a lot better than Raines, lol

Although not official and still a bit of speculation, the following site is fairly in the know. Of course being wrong can happen and does.
I personlly would love an all-star version as long as the right people make it in.
I'm also not sure of half "regular" and half all-star. Sounds corny to me but actually it fits right up BB's outlandish "twists"
