Charlotte's Web is coming, but who the heck is playing Wilbur?

We had Charlotte's Web on tonight (one of my fave
childhood movies - although I must admit that Wilbur's whining does grate on my nerves after the third viewing or so in
a 24-hour period) - and I got to wondering what's up with the remake of the
film. I went to IMDB to check it out and, sure enough, a veritable bevy of hot stars are in the film: Julia Roberts as Charlotte, Dakota Fanning (shocking casting call there, I know) as Fern, Steve Buscemi as Templeton the Rat (okay, I can buy that), Oprah as Gussy the Goose, and John Cleese, Robert Redford,
Jennifer Garner, Kathy
Bates, Thomas Haden Church, Reba McEntire, Andre 3000 from
Outkast (!?!) and Cedric the Entertainer (playing Golly,
the henpecked gander bossed around by Oprah's Gussy) -- holy arachnophobia, is there anyone who isn't in this
film?
And then I noticed something odd. No Wilbur. Huh?!?
Back to the Future 4?!

Wow - talk about news I never, ever
expected to hear: Michael J. Fox is currently in talks to star in a
fourth Back
to the Future. Refreshingly, the actor has said he's no longer interested in playing a time-traveling dork.
Instead, he wants to play the crazy scientist role - that's right, Marty McFly has grown up and turned into Doc, the
sequel. And it's not negotiable; the only only circumstance under which Fox would do the movie is if he gets to be the
on-screen mentor to "a younger cast."As Fox put it, "I'm 44-years-old now and I'm not interested in
running around on skateboards!" Well, thank goodness for that. I know the third one was awful and everything, but this series was so central to the movie-going youth of a certain (OK, my) generation, that I actually think another installment would be welcomed with open arms. Or I could be totally wrong - what do you guys think? Might it be better to just leave it alone and not risk damaging the series further?
