Vote up the best re-casted Stephen King characters.
An author as popular and prolific as Stephen King is bound to have not just numerous films and shows adapted from his works, but remakes, sequels, and spinoffs of those original adaptations, too. As a result, plenty of King characters have spiritual doubles running around in the cinematic and TV ether, and we're here to compare some of our favorites.
Often times, no one can beat these characters' original performances. But in the world of Hollywood, where remakes are inevitable, the least filmmakers can do is find the best replacements possible. That said, vote up the characters who got the most acceptable re-castings, and vote down the ones where there were definitely better choices out there.
