The Godfather

A Nicolas Winding Refn film

Jeremy Renner as Michael Corleone
Bradley Cooper as Sonny Corleone
Emma Stone as Kay Adams-Corleone
Anne Hathaway as Connie Corleone
Daniel Craig as Tom Hagen
Giovanni Ribisi as Fredo Corleone

Trivas

Michael Douglas, Christopher Walken and William Hurt are considered for Vito Corleone, but Robert De Niro is Nicolas Winding Refn's first and only choice for Vito Corleone and say it will pay tribute to Godfather

Paramount wanted Edward Norton or Mark Wahlberg for Michael Corleone but Nicolas Winding Refn chose Jeremy Renner because his attitude make him Michael Corleone

Bradley Cooper originally screen test for Michael Corleone, but Nicolas Winding Refn suggest him that he should play Sonny than playing Michael, and he did got a role of Sonny after Nicolas Winding Refn's first choice for Sonny, Jude Law dropped out

Emma Stone beat Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Lawrence for the role of Kay Adams-Corleone because she make the character interesting rather being boring character and she also chose Jeremy Renner as Michael Corleone than Bradley Cooper

Rachel McAdams was originally cast for Connie Corleone but she have a creative difference with Nicolas Winding Refn and dropped out, Emily Blunt was considered for Connie Corleone before Anne Hathaway was cast

Clive Owen was originally cast for Tom Hagen, but was forced to dropped out due for scheduling conflict

Nicolas Winding Refn originally turn down the film but Ryan Gosling convince him to do the film

Nicolas Winding Refn wanted Ryan Gosling for Fredo Corleone but he turn down twice before Ryan Gosling suggestion than Giovanni Ribisi will be better choice than him

Nicolas Winding Refn decide to not including 2 Godfather's iconic theme because he doesn't want to make The Godfather same as the original Godfather

I gonna to ask you 3 question. One. Do you like casting choice of Wizard of Oz David Fincher, if not give me a some suggestion. Two. How do you describe David Fincher's Wizard of Oz Version. Three. Out of casting choice. Who was your favorite and least-favorite casting choice of Wizard of Oz David Fincher Version

And I was originally have Ben Affleck or George Clooney for Wizard of Oz but I decide have Ben Affleck for Alice in Wonderland. While George Clooney for Treasure Island.

And I couldn't think what David Fincher's version of iconic character from Wizard of Oz. Do you think what hos version look like?

Instead of making a Gladiator movie, Ridley Scott decided to remake the 1958 epic from Richard Fleischer "The Vikings", with the very same cast he envisioned for his initial Gladiator project :

 

THE VIKINGS (2000)

Directed by Ridley Scott

 

"Einar"

Kirk Douglas/Russell Crowe

 

 

 

 

 

"Eric"

Tony Curtis/Joaquin Phoenix

 

 

 

"Morgana"

Janet Leigh/Connie Nielsen

 

 

 

"Ragnar"

Ernest Borgnine/Oliver Reed

 

 

 

"Aella"

Frank Thring/Richard Harris

 

 

 

 

"Egbert"

James Donald/Tommy Flanagan

 

 

 

"Father Godwin"

Alexander Knox/Derek Jacobi

 

 

 

 

"Kitala"

Eileen Way/Giannina Facio

 

 

 

"Sandpiper"

Edric Connor/Djimon Housou

 

By the way, this was my very first post... Nice to know you all!

Tony Scott's

JACK REACHER (1995)

 

Kurt Russell as JACK REACHER

 

 

Diane Lane as HELEN RODIN

 

 

Joe Morton as EMERSON

 

 

Val Kilmer as CHARLIE

 

 

Alan Arkin as ALEX RODIN

 

 

SPECIAL APPEREANCES

 

Charles Bronson as CASH

 

 

and Max Von Sydow as THE ZEC

Not to be super-pissy and to denounce the fake casting thread! But half of you guys just seem to be listing popular director and actor combinations at random.

 

Like I still can't get my brain behind a David O. Russell Thirteenth Warrior.

A different take...

 

ONE SHOT (1974)

 

Steve McQueen as JACK REACHER

 

 

Faye Dunaway as HELEN RODIN

 

 

Yaphet Kotto as EMERSON

 

 

Nick Nolte as CHARLIE

 

 

Jason Robards as ALEX RODIN

 

 

SPECIAL APPEREANCES

 

John Wayne as CASH

 

 

and James Mason as THE ZEC

 

Not so sure about Mason as The Zec but I'm pretty happy with the rest of the cast.

 

Maybe Pasolini? (Foreign director, kinda creepy looking, dabbled in acting. Assuming you wanted a parallel to Herzog, that is.)

 

I could also see John Huston or Peter Cushing in the role.

 

In any case, great cast. That goes for axelbratoski's 1995 version too. Either McQueen or Russell would've made a great Jack Reacher.

"seem" is the right choice of word...

 Three Amigos

Directed by Judd Apatow

Lucky Day - Will Ferrell

 

Dusty Bottoms - Paul Rudd

 

Ned Nederlander - Steve Carell

 

El Guapo - Danny Trejo

 

Jefe - Antonio Banderas

 

Carmen - Salma Hayek

I like it... especially Rudd, but just for the hell of it:

 

Lucky Day- Jon Hamm

Dusty Bottoms- Jason Bateman

Ned Nederlander- Jason Schwartzman

Carmen- Sofia Veraga

Jefe- Luis Guzman

El Guapo- Danny Trejo

German- Til Schweiger

I think Charlie Day would make a good Ned Nederlander

Schwartzman is pretty perfect for Ned. He nails the pseudo-smartness of the character (I can't remember the exact line, but his knowing exactly what plane the german is flying because that was what he flew in 'Little Neddy Goes to War') and the politeness, but also the bursts of anger and sudden seriousness ('I never used trick photography!'). When Charlie Day does angry it feels like a child throwing a tantrum, Schwartzman reads much more adult.

 

I'd go Rudd for Lucky and either Hamm or Ferrell for Dusty (Hamm does the sardonic asshole (c.f. the Singing Bush scene) thing well, but Ferrell obviously kills at the oblivious confusion), though.

Honestly, I think Antonio Banderas as Jefe steals the show.

- Rush (1992)

 

 

 

- Dennis Miller as Jim Raynor

 

 

- Uma Thurman as Kristen Cates

 

- Tom Skerritt as Larry Dodd

- M.Emmet Walsh as Nettle

 

and Ted Nugent as Will Gaines

I went with Carell as Ned because he can play the innocence of the character. Michael Scott was like that. While he did try too hard to be liked and funny, which led to him being a bit of an asshole, he was naive about it.
