Recast Untouchable Screen Classics

[Bobber]

THE SHINING

Michael Shannon - Jack Torrance

Kirsten Dunst - Wendy Torrance

Pierce Gagnon - Danny Torrance

Danny Glover - Dick Hallorann

Shannon is brilliant casting. I'd prefer Charlotte Gainsbourg over Dunst though.

 

[Jordacar]

The Princess Bride
<snip>

Oh yeah, might as well throw in Andy Serkis as the Albino, for good measure. t:

 

[DawnWarrior]

and Bryan Cranston as Captain Koons

Bryan would be great. Nicolas Cage would be better.

 

[Jordacar]

Kit Harington as Lee Christmas

Peter Dinklage as Ying Yang

Hodor as Gunner Jensen

"HODOR SHOT!"

Lucian Msamati as Hale Caesar

So if you take this money and you don't deliver, or you try to **** me in some kind of weird cockamamie scheme of yours, me and my people are gonna come get you and your people and chop you up into little ****ing dog treats. You got a problem with that?"

and

Masie Williams as Trench Mauser

"I'm busy anyway, so give this job to my father here. He loves playing in the jungle."

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Someone's been watching a little too much Game of Thrones.

 

[dude stannis]

There's no such thing as too much Game of Thrones.

 

[Airwings]

What about to recast a TV series?

Game of Thrones, True Blood, Lost, Heroes, Prison Break, X-Files etc

 

[Sawyer]

They're all so recent, it's hard to picture other actors in those roles. What might work, though, is imagining how they would've been cast if they were feature films.

If A Game of Thrones had been adapted as a film, I could see Russell Crowe being cast as Ned Stark.

 

[jonathancrane]

Chinatown

J.J. Gittes~Leonard DiCaprio
Evelyn Mulwray~Diane Kruger
Noah Cross~Sean Connery
Man with Knife (Polanski's character)~Ted Raimi

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

It's hard for me cast for Game of Thrones just because I don't really know that many young British or Aussie actors.

I agree with Russell Crowe, and I suggest Jane Seymour as Catelyn.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Slap some blonde hair on him and he's Jaime Lannister.

 

[jonathancrane]

True.

 

[Poni_Boy]

Back to the Future

Anton Yelchin - Marty Mcfly

Bryan Cranston - Doc Brown

Jane Levy - Lorraine Baines

Andrew Garfield - George Mcfly

Really stuck on a Biff aha.

Channing Tatum

 

[Sawyer]

Crowe as Ned makes me want to suggest Cavill as Robb, but he's too old at this point. Then again, as this thread is entirely make-believe, I'm rolling with it.

Henry Cavill - Robb Stark

Or perhaps Jon... he does have the dark Stark hair for it...

I once joked in the superman caption thread about how Cavill and Madden looked similar with beards. I just assumed that you can use anyone from history in this thread.

EDIT: I found the post.

Robb Stark: For the hundreth time, I'm Robb Stark, King of the North, not this Henry Cavill guy! Why am I always mistaken for this guy?

Henry Cavill: Chicks dig beards, man.
