Cape Fear Limited Series fancast

If there is to be a Cape Fear miniseries (which there is no news of a production of one going to happen yet) this is who should play the characters. Adapted from the 1957 book The Executioners by John D. MacDonald. This book was adapted for the big screen the first time J Lee Thompson's 1962 film Cape Fear. Then later in 1991, adapted again, by Martin Scorsese for a film (also titled Cape Fear) which served more as a remake of the 1962 movie rather than an adaptation of The Executioners, as such. The main character Max Cady was played by Robert Mitchum and then Robert DeNiro. In an interview on his podcast show 'The Real Ones', actor Jon Bernthal said that Max Cady in Cape Fear was a role he always saw himself playing and will not turn down if he got casted. He claimed it to be one of his two 'dream roles'. "A vengeful inmate from West Virginia, who is released from prison after serving his parole, seeks revenge on the lawyer that dismissed his case and refused to not represent him. He tortures the lawyer and his family by stalking them and threatening him in some kind of twisted game, including a strange relationship with his daughter." I think HBO would work for the studio producing it. I can also see Hulu. I would give it around 6-8 episodes.
