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

You're not thinking like Holywood. The next movie will be Shadow of the Hegemon. Kidnaping, murder and war always outsell theological discussions and planting trees...

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.

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.." - I am never going to be a casting director..

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

It made me laugh. "blunder" or "dunder" would have made me laugh harder, but... *prolonged sigh* what can you do?

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.
