That wouldn't bother me at all. I don't think that he *should*, but he *could*.

If he were still alive, I would cast Andre the Giant as Bean. I'm sure that, because of his great acting skills, he would be able to play the role convincingly.

How about Robin Williams as Mazar?

How about Whoopi Goldberg as Valentine?

Alan Rickman has the personality to make a great Peter. Put a little make up on him and he could be a lot younger!

Since we now have a black Val and a white Peter, I think we now need an oriental Ender. How about Jackie Chan? All of the makers of his unrealistic movies already make it seem like he can fly on his jumps; this already qualifies him for the battle rooms.

Danny Elfman needs a part. Maybe as the government guy who gets on his knees in the final battle scene. Either that or he could do the music. I want "Only a Lad" on the soundrack.

Hugo Weaving needs to play Colonel Graff. Why?

"Major Anderson, I've been expecting you..."

*that's* why.

Weaving would do well in any age-(or ageless)-appropriate role. He's demonstrated that over and over.

Mazer Rackham- Ron Rifkin, who plays "Arvin Sloan" on Alias. note the deep-set eyes and rugged, ugly features Rifkin

oh, and that lloyd kid? terrible choice. ive never seen someone more ill-suited for the role.

Yes you have. Dwaye Johnson, AKA The Rock, is slightly more ill-suited for the role. [Razz]

As are Jim Carrey and Julie Andrews.

When I first saw The Good Son, I thought that Elijah Wood and Mcally Culkin would have been excellent as Ender and Peter, respectively. Alas, it is not to be.

The Rock = Petra

Can we please just put Rosie O'donnel to sleep? She is the last person I want to see in this movie.

I need to be cast as the new Hagrid. I'm really buffing up these days.

I would have thought Culkin and Wood would have made a better Peter-Valentine combo [Wink]

Cruise=Sister Carlotta?

Malcom McDowell for Graff! I always pictured him when reading it.

Haley Joel Osment would have been good 5 years ago, but by the time this thing makes it to shooting he'll be collecting social security. Best to hold off on Ender and pick some no name uber kid. But if it started shooting tommorow, Id go with Rory Culkin which I believe has already been said

For cripes sake.. Owen Wilson would be Ender of course, and Jackie Chan would play Bean.. and the movie would be turned into a comedy and the age level would be adults, and while 'Owender' makes fun of the little laser guns and the tight spandex, 'Jackie Bean' would be doing all the real work.. using his ninja moves on all those buggers and such.. duh..

I'm thinking Robert Redford as Mazer. He has that gruffness, and he'd be old enough by the time the movie comes out. Or maybe Harrison Ford...

Ok whats everyone got against Russel Crowe? The guys an AWESOME actor! Ever watched Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind in quick succession? I went through all of a A Beautiful Mind with our realizing it was him!

Heh.. Will Ferrel could either be, Wormmy-Wiggle-Butt.. or Valentine..

But Peter.. he'd have to be played by, like.. Antonio Banderez.. or Seth Green.. or.. hmm.. me! of course..

And Mazer would be played by Arnold.. "I blow you up Mr. aliens. I squish your tentacles with my massive mussskles.." -

Will Ferrel as a totally made up character that's just around the whole time. That would be awesome.

The Big Stars:

Elijah Woods - Ender
Verne Troyer - Bean
Antonio Banderas - Bonzo
Rowan Atkinson - Rose de Nose
Michael Clark - Graff
Sean Connery - Mazer
Dakota Fanning - Valentine
Haley Joel Osment - Peter
Hugo Weaving - Buggers

In the event of not having enough money for Big Stars, we call these people:

Ender - a Potato
Bean - a String bean
Bonzo - a Carrot
Rose de Nose - a Rose
Graff - a Tub of Butter
Mazer - a Moldy Slice of Bread
Valentine - an Apple
Peter - a Lemon
Buggers - Cheerios

In the event of not having enough money for veggies, fruits, a rose, butter, bread, or cheerios, we call George Bush to play them all.
