[Eddie Dean]

Ms. Tessmacher?!?!?!

 

[DawnWarrior]

^I was wondering that too. Can't have Otis and skip Ms. Tesmacher.

RETURN OF THE JEDI

(went with Jedi to kick it back a few years and get the actors I really wanted at the right age. Specifically Leia. )[/IMG]

Heck yeah, I'd buy a ticket! But then again you're preaching to the
choir. #asianpride

This kinda reminded me of a Superman casting I did a while back...

had a dream about this last night so i figured i'd go ahead and get it out of my system.

BLACK SUPERMAN!!!
disclaimer: this is my dream cast of black actors/actresses for the roles not taking into consideration the realities of our world such as age, pay, availability, etc...


the Family of El

Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman - Will Smith

Jor-El - Chiwetel Ejiofor

Lara - Thandie Newton

Smallville

Pa Kent - Laurence Fishburne

Ma Kent - Taraji Henson

Lana Lang - Kerri Washington

 

[DorkyFresh]

Continued...

the Daily Planet

Jimmy Olsen - Donny Glover

Perry White - Samuel L. Jackson

Cat Grant - Stacey Dash

Villains

Lex Luthor - Denzel Washington

Zod - Wesley Snipes

Faora - Rosario Dawson

Brainiac - Don Cheadle

I'm sure this list would change if I cast this movie today though. There's a ton of new talent.

 

[David H.]

I like it, though I'd go with Ejiofor as Luthor.

 

[David H.]

Been thinking about this one for some time. My pick for the lead still needs a few years to be just right, though.

Miller's Crossing, 2016

as Tom Reagan - Charlie Cox

as Verna - Kelly Riley

as Bernie Bernbaum - Domhnall Gleeson

as Eddie Dane - Nikolaj Lie Kaas

with Stephen Graham as Johnny Caspar

and Ciaran Hinds as Leo

BEING CHRISTOPH WALTZ (2016)

Christoph Horatio Waltz —

Craig Schwartz — Adam Driver

and, I guess, a less neurotic Kaufman as "Charlie"

 

[Breogan]

The Princess Bride:

Charlie Hunnam - Westley

Margot Robbie - Buttercup

Pedro Pascal - Inigo Montoya (his scene vs.. The mountain, he's totally channeling Inigo)

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson - Fezzik (again the Mountain! Only this time they are friends)

Paul Giamatti - Vizzini

 

[sabetoonth]

I like it, though I'd go with Ejiofor as Luthor.

I would go for Elba as Luthor, Michael Ealy as Superman myself.
