1. I don't know about Val Kilmer...

I like him as an actor, but doesn't strike me in any way as being Joe-like.

[wyldwolf]

2. he's a character actor. A little makeup to make him look 25 years old and he'd nail that role

[Honeycombe8]

18. I don't know. He's a little young to play Joe. nt

[camera obscura]

3. The other two are good, but WS and BHO don't look very similar to me. However I will add...

Michael Hogan as McCain:



Naomi Watts (aged up with makeup) as Hillary Clinton

Kevin Spacey as Mike Huckabee

Ben Affleck as Mitt Romney (he could make this hilarious)

Dunno about Palin... stick with Tina Fey I guess?

[wyldwolf]

4. that's just about perfect!

[azmouse]

5. Jamie Foxx did a very good Obama imitiation at the DC concert.

He could be in the running.

Who would play Michelle?

[wyldwolf]

6. Michelle could be controversial

Robin Givens?

[Robbins]

7. Obama the movie

I have thought a film showing him through his committee organzing days to His taking the Oval office would be an excellent Idea.

Will Smith would be perfect In this part as our president.For Michelle the obvious choice to some would be Halle Berry but I think
Kerry Washington would be a better fit.

For Hillary how about Susan Saranden.Put some gray In his hair and Alec Baldwin would be great as Bill.

I would like to see james Cromwell as Joe Biden.A great actor who Is actully very liberal yet he gets cast often as Villians.

Maybe cast val Kilmer as David Axelrod,and Ben Affleck as David Ploufee.

And maybe recreat the debates with Alan Alda as Mccain,and tina Fey as Palin(yeah I know a strech)

And perhapes Martin Sheen as John Kerry(remember he helped give Obama his first lead Into the national spotlot and was one of the closest senators to him and one of his best surrgates)

While you do a film just about campagin 2008(the primary battle and general election) I would love to see a film showing his work In Chicago,his meeting and Courtship with Michelle(having a romance In a political biopic would be good) and showing his rise from satate senator to 2004 speach to senate election,to being In the senate and then the epic battle for the Presidentcy ending with
his taking his place In the oval office.

8. Uh, how are you going to pay for this cast?

These days you can't really have more than 3 or 4 mega stars in a movie as it could get too pricey for the producers.

[Robbins]

9. Movie

That would be my dream cast.And some aren't exactly 20 Million per film except for Will Smith.You could use Special effects to save money by having actors as Obama and Biden In the actual debates with Mccain and Palin,and use Bill Clinton In only archivle footage
like statements on the campagin trail and at the convention and use special effects to put the actor as Obama In the florida
campagin rally with Clinton newsfootage.

12. Actually Bill and Hillary were pretty well done on film already in "Primary Colors"

by John Travolta and Emma Thompson:

13. Regina King

She has a similar square jaw.

This is a better picture, but I can't link to it directly. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1800510208/nm0005093



Wikipedia says that she campaigned for Obama, too.

[Honeycombe8]

19. She's a little too model-like. Someone attractive & sexy, but not model pretty.

No one comes to mind, though.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

10. Anybody but Will Smith.

I think maybe Joe Morton:

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

16. that looks nothing like obama...lol. nt

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

17. Will Smith does not look like him either.

:shrug: And I didn't say that he looked like him. I posted the picture because there are others in Hollywood besides Will Smith.

[TuxedoKat]

21. I like Will Smith but

I would greatly prefer to see Denzel Washington portray Pres. Obama.

[FLAprogressive]

11. I was thinking Verne Troyer as Rahm Emanuel n/t

[Cha]

14. You

bad.

[Cha]

15. I like this guy for Obama~Alpha Cat~

[WeDidIt]

20. Alphacat RAWX! n/t

[Cha]

23. He's like

a younger Obama without any cares in world. Hakuna Matata:)

[AspenRose]

22. Another vote for AlphaCat

[Cha]

24. I just love

him:loveya:

[Number23]

25. Why do some folks insist on insisting that Will Smith should play Obama?

Yes they're both black with big ears but I don't get it.

The pick for Rahm however is SPOT ON. Good grief, that resemblance is incredible!
