Just a Face and a Caption: Remake Cameo

It just looks like an on-set photo of group of men standing around and wearing the same outfit, nothing to indicate that it was a remake that the older guys appeared in. The same outfits even make it look like Wilson and Stiller are playing young versions of the original Starsky and Hutch.

It's not perfect, but an "original" vs "cameo" photo of an actor in the works themselves would be better. I hope Weaver's entirely different hair and outfit are enough of a tip-off to the fact that she's not playing a distant-sequel version of the same character.

That's a definite improvement, but I think it's still lacking some context to establish the "cameo" part, which may be tricky to do.

I think it works. It's not great. Can additional context be added with a caption, or is that even necessary?

Not stellar but better than current.

Well, the description states that the returning actor's role can be of varying prominence in the remake, it isn't strictly a "cameo" necessarily. I was thinking a caption naming her different roles in each film could be added.

The OP's got enough consensus, so it's up and tagged...pothole to Sigourney Weaver?

Pothole to Franchise/Ghostbusters?

Caption: "Sigourney Weaver as Dana Barrett and as Dr. Rebecca Gorin."?
