Mis-cast

[hyphenate]

Jim Carrey as Abraham Lincoln?
Will Smith as Martin Luther King?
perhaps Kevin Kline as Adolph Hitler?

I am stunned at the possibilities...and shudder at the likelihood, at any rate.



Name the completely mis-cast mistakes that Hollywood will eventually make or might seriously be thinking of already. Thinking of some of the ones they've already made is enough for anyone to give up watching films.

1. Kevin Kline's a good enough actor, he could probably pull it off.

He doesn't quite have the look, but I'd trust him with the role.

[AlCzervik]

2. Larry the cable guy as Mr. Darcy.

[Fenris]

12. "Larry the Cable Guy in 'Stink & Stinkability.'"

It's sad because if you pitched it, it would probably get made.

25. "We neither of us perform to strangers...

...but my sister--pshew, she's a big girl!--she used to pass gass like a champion. That's funny, right there."

3. Hell, we've already had

Harvey Keitel as Judas Escariot - a truly "yonder lies the castle of my fadda" choice. And John Wayne as Genghis Khan.

How about Halle Berry as Harriet Tubman?

[Carnea]

8. Halle Berry as Catwon was bad enough. nt

[Orrex]

10. For Scorsese's treatment of the story, Keitel was smartly cast

I grant that he would fit poorly with a Cecil B. DeMille version, but that's another matter.

[Mojambo]

4. The Superman franchise has dodged a couple of bullets.

I think Chris Walken was up for the role in the 70's and Nic Cage's name was thrown around for years.

[Mojambo]

5. dupe. n/t

[galledgoblin]

15. I wonder if DC ever published an "Elseworlds" mini

with Tim Burton's proposals. be interesting to read, but I think everyone kind of breathed a sigh of relief that an entire movie wasn't done.

[Mojambo]

6. Rob Schneider as Tarzan. n/t

[Carnea]

7. Arnold Schwarzenegger as FDR..... NT

[Carnea]

9. The entire cast of this movie

All the King's Men (2006)


Sean Penn ... Willie Stark (WTF)

Jude Law ... Jack Burden (You're getting sleepy)

Anthony Hopkins ... Judge Irwin(I know Scotland has bogs and Louisiana has bogs but it's not the same place)

Kate Winslet ... Anne Stanton (Show us your tits...my favorite Winslet drinking game)

Mark Ruffalo ... Adam Stanton (Okay I don't remember him)

Patricia Clarkson ... Sadie Burke (Okay this one is almost a pass but she looked to old)

James Gandolfini ... Tiny Duffy ( Yo Tony Y'all coming doming to dat crawfish fry to um take care of dat thing.... BEST MISCAST EVER)

[Orrex]

11. Mel Gibson as Oscar Schindler

:shrug:

[AlCzervik]

14. yeah, that would be wrong.

[Merrick]

13. Elijah Wood as anything other than a hobbit

man, that guy can't act. every role he's played he's basically just Elijah Wood in some new situation - kinda like the male version of Julia Roberts.

[Kutjara]

16. Adam Sandler as Gandhi.

Mike Myers as Fidel Castro.
Dustin Hoffman as Muhammad Ali.
Tom Cruise as Andy Warhol.

[KitchenWitch]

17. Jessica Simpson as Marie Curie

[AlCzervik]

19. I know, makes me awfully sad to think about it.
