It by Stephen King
(I'm going to just do the adult cast, since I dont know many young actors that dont belong to some ****ty Disney channel franchise and that any casting director would probably end up going with unknowns anyway.)

Pennywise the Dancing Clown: Paul Giamatti
Bill Denbrough: Peter Krause
Ben Hanscom: Edward Norton
Beverly Marsh: Ashley Judd
Mike Hanlon: Don Cheadle
Richie Tozier: Jeremy Piven (still unsure)
Eddie Kaspbrak: Jeremy Davies
Stanley Uris: Undecided (he really doesnt do enough as an adult for me to find someone good to play him)
Henry Bowers: Josh Brolin (still kind of unsure)

It could still use some work, but overall I think its a good fit.

 

[Brother Jack]

I like Don Cheadle as Mike Hanlon. A lot.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray- Alex Pettyfer
Basil Halward- Rupert Everett
Lord Henry- Robbie Coltrane
Sibyl Vane- Imogen Poots

Although most of all, I would love to see a modern version, simply to deferenitiate it from the Ben Barnes version. It's a book that would benefit more from a modern setting than any other classic IMHO

For those of you wondering, yes this is a real book. Here's a picture of the cover, as well as the actor who should play Tattoo. It's about a bunch of communist terrorists who want to start a revolution by blowing up The World Wide Wrestling & Weightlifting Games bein held in New York City with a nuclear bomb they made from stolen weapons grade plutonium. Professor Markus is the terrorist leader, and "The Bull" is the captain of the Bulgarian wrestling & weightlifting team as well as the professor's #1 henchman. Colonal Parker is the head of the CIA division trying to stop the attack, and he recruits his old army buddy Rick Harrison to go undercover at the games as a wrestler. In order to whip him into shape, the CIA recruits Cpt. Lou and The Destroyer to train Harrison as a wrestler. Bulldog is recruited to train him as a boxer ("Cut" is his cut-man during training). Lenny Carter is a fellow wrestler from the American team who befriends Harrison at the games. And Natasha is a member of the Bulgarian women's weightlifting team who becomes Harrison's love interest.

Al Leong as Tattoo

Osama Bin Laden is an important character in the book, and ive been thinking about his casting, he is a 6'4'' bearded, 100 something 60 something year old man, the only actor i can think of, with some make up and prothstesis, very little prothstesis, is none other then Liam Neeson
