I have to do an assignment for school on who i would pick to play the main characters if the movie was made today any suggestions?

Nobody.

Ralph Macchio, Tommy Howell, Emillio Estevez, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, and Rob Lowe were perfect for the parts of the movie. No one else can.

Just saying..

Ты cannot do this assignment cause nobody can replace Ralph или anybody else in that matter:)

Well if it was made today I guess

Ponyboy: Arthur Bowen или Liam Aiken
Johnny: Taylor Lautner или Blair Redford
Sodapop: Andrew Гарфилд или Daren Kagasoff
Dally: Liam Hemsworth или Chris Hemsworth
Steve: No idea
Two-bit: No idea
Cherry: bella thorne
Darry: Sean Biggerstaff
