I think my first pick for a male leading role would probably be johnny depp
and for supporting male it would be orlando bloom because they did work together well in POTC and I don't know about female maybe kirsten dunst or charlize theron

For the script I'm writing Scar House (psychological horror/thirller starring a 15 year old) so hard to say since not so many young stars can show as much emotion as I need. But I would NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER cast Keanu Reeves, Ben Affleck, or the TERRIBLE Vin Diesel.

I wouldnt bring up a bunch of well known stars, i like the big movies with the no name actors.

I am not sure either, but i know for a fact that i would definately cast either Edward Norton or Sean Bean in films, i am big fans of their work, and i know their range of acting.

I would never cast Brad Pitt or Keira Knightly. Neither have any talent, IMO.

Doesn't a lot of it depend on the role you are filling?

But still, NO Orlando Bloom.

Hmm.... I'd be pretty inclined to cast Hayden Christenson. He did a fantastic job in Shattered Glass (Star Wars EP II as well, but, the directing sucked so it wasn't really his fault, he still did good). Julianne Moore seems to be good in everything she does, so, probably her too.

Have you seen Seven, Fight Club or 12 Monkeys? Pitt can definitely act.

Tom Hanks.Thats all i need.Haha.

08-02-2004, 12:07 PM
Yeah, agree. Tom Hanks is definitly needed. But I would never choose: Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom or Tom Cruise.

I would not cast Adam Sandler. The guy has no talent. He plays the same character in every movie. It was funny the first time, but it got old fast.

I would cast Christopher Walken. The guy is amazing. He's funny without even trying. A real treat to watch.

I'd cast Johnny Depp, Karl Urban, and Brad Pitt.
I wouldn't cast Ashton Kutcher, Orlando Bloom, and Jake Gyllenhal (I probably spelled his name wrong but I don't give a s***)

awwww shoot
08-02-2004, 05:11 PM
Bob De Niro, lead role.

Keanu Reeves would play some ******* who gets the **** beaten out of him by De Niro.

Please tell me OrlandoFan is a girl. Please.

If I was actually in charge of a movie and had the choice of who to cast, I would not choose that many big name actors, if any. Probably for an actor James Franco and actress Katie Holmes.

If it were up to me, I'd make a Grand Theft Auto movie (partially based on Vice City) starring Ray Liotta, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jessica Alba and I'd make it the most chaotic movie in cinema history.

Btw, People that I would cast (besides the ones mentioned):
Uma Thurman, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Halle Berry, Christopher Walken, The Rock, Al Pacino, Matt Damon, Joe Pesci, and countless others.

snoborderzero i completely agree with your choices i don't like keanu reeves that much and he over acts a lot and vin diesel i cannot stand him everyone else does but i just plain don't like him and ben affleck don't get me started gigli anyone?? snoborder you write amature films too?

BigMike1963
08-03-2004, 02:01 PM
if i was gonna make a big movie i would get a buncha no names and maybe 3 big names. sum times u need something fresh like the no names, no one would know who they are but if it was good writing i could manipulate them in the role because they are new and new aactors u can mold to how ever u want. if it was animated i would get Ron Perlman for a leading role, maybe a father or sum thin cuz he has a great voice and he does great in roles where his face is covered up with makeup or he does a voice.

Harrison Ford
Liam Neeson
Sean Bean
Johnny Depp
Jeff Goldblum
John Cleese
Ewan McGregor
Diane Keaton
Cate Blanchett

I would never cast Keanu Reeves or Kevin Bacon, too scary!

secant
08-03-2004, 02:54 PM
I would cast Ben Browder, Claudia Black, and Wayne Pygram from Farscape because they are all amazing actors and they need work :(

I am interested in Paul Giamatti (In America, Duets, Big Fat Liar); I would cast him and I hope he gets a lot of work soon.
I have loved Brad Pitt and Russell Crowe since before anyone else knew who they were and I still would put them in a movie.
I would cast Gina Davis, Michael Keaton, Anthony Hopkins, Rebecca DeMornay, John Cusak and Mira Sorvino.
I probably wouldn't cast Keanu Reeves or Heather Graham.

Kate was hot as hell in Underworld but one the pet peeves I have against that film was the fact that whenever there was action, it would be over in a matter of seconds. She's not to blame for how bad both those movies sucked. Blame Stephen Sommers and...the guy who directed Underworld.
