Hollywood wants YOU!

Archive: 52 posts


By some unfathomable stroke of luck, you are approached by Hollywood producers and given the chance to star in a remake of ANY movie, either with the original cast, or a reshuffle of your choosing. What film would you choose and what role would you play? And would you re-cast?

I would either choose the role of Julia Sullivan in 'The Wedding Singer' - definitely would keep Adam Sandler and the rest of the cast who were perfect... But I'd demand a Duran Duran cameo in there somewhere...
OR
I'd be Trinity in 'The Matrix'. I'd keep Keanu too. Yep.

How about you? This could be quite telling...

most re-makes usually suck (they're also remaking "The Thing" now...hope they don't F up), but if I had to take one and I was adult I'd go for blondie in The Good The Bad & The Ugly2010-08-06 11:05:00

That's easy!

I'd be the Black Knight in Mony Python and the Holy Grail. Possibly the best part in any movie ever made

I would definately be Arwen from Lord of the Rings and I would keep Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn without a doubt. In fact I wouldn't change any of the cast. Maybe I would change a bit of the story so that Arwen appeared with Legolas a bit more too! Oooo, she would also have more screen time with Boromir.

Lol, Icey! Your plot expansions might actually make a successful spin-off into a juicy TV drama... 'Days of Our Unnaturally Long Elven Lives' or something..
You know.. for all we know, you could actually BE an elf, with that glorious hair of yours

Wow... I dunno. Some really cool thoughts so far.

However, I've always felt I already starred in my own film every day!

Well my sig is probably a bit of a give away! I'd join IceMaiden and be Eowyn to her Arwen. The cast sound like they had a blast making those films - the hobbits in particular - and it would be cool to see what Peter Jackson's like in real life.

Oh and Faramir's not bad either. I'd settle for him...

V in "V for Vendetta".


SPOILERS!!!

A freedom fighter and a gentleman. Also, instead of kicking a** then dying at the end, I'd kick a** then walk away in cool slow-mo into the cool, blue light flooding into the decrepid subway station as the camera makes a slick transition to street-level a the houses of parliment go up in a flurry of fireworks. How bada** would that be?

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Id be Paul Newmans character (Butch). Keep the rest.

Robert Redford is the ultimate man-crush. Is that cool?

Maybe Id like to be one of the Magnificent 7.

I'd be the main character's dog in the movie, 'The Jerk'.

Any make-up studio that could pull those transformations off would never have to look for work again... personally I think there's more hope of Frogboy becoming the dog than you being trnsformable to Mr Bean, Tia. There's no-one else on the planet with nostrils that big...

What's wrong with a little romance, brother? One could make the same 'one track' comment regarding the male suggestions so far.. except for the dog. You never gave us your role yet, either, I noticed.

I'd love to see that, moonwire. I'd PAY to see it. Especially if they let you keep your normal hair

I just thought of a another one:

Darth Vader. I can't imagine how fun it would be to go on set and say "Luke, I am your father." in a very deep voice.

The most epic movie ever would have to be.

The Hills. (based on the MTV show)

With Hannah Montanna, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga.

Oh lord that's epic.

And then get your voice dubbed over by James Earl Johns... True story!

Lesse... I dunno, actually. I wouldn't really want to be in a movie.

I just got my thoughts back LOL
I stepped down a bit and remember that in that movie someone was cooler than old Tom LOL
Thinking to get out of the bamboo wood on the horse with the Akuma mask would give me the chill forever.

Well then at least say something about a movie you'd like to be in!

I know I made my choice but I also think it could be great fun to star in a remake of The Wizard of Oz, starring the peeps of LBPC. I'd have Morgana as G(a)linda the Good and I'd be the Wicked Witch of the West. I'd cast Teebonesy as the Scarecrow. I was thinking maybe the Wizard might be more appropriate, but that role's too small. Scarecrow gives him more dialogue and more options to be.. himself... I'd have Thanatos as the Lion and squirlin as my Tin Man.... I'll have to think about the rest... hmmm
Maybe comph might make a good wizard? Or CC. Maybe Rock Sauron as the head Flying Monkey? So many possibilities...
Tia could be a lovely Dorothy, I think. Or even Sara... I need a role for Countess and jw... Maybe The Wizard of Oz Meets Love Story... the MUSICAL?

P.S. I think I'd have a cameo role for coyote_blue as the doorman in Oz who tells them how it is and where to go... yeah, that could be good

I think I'd fit the scarecrow role rather nicely, particularly in regards to the character's station "sans brain". This is one department in which I have some specific experience.

Whew, whose shoes would I have myself fill?

lebowski... de large... bill the butcher... daniel plainview... the joker...

I think I'd fit The Tramp's shoes better than any of them, except I'm too tall and not nearly athletic or limber enough. But I'll go ahead and say Charlie Chaplin in The Gold Rush. Dancing bread rolls and teetering cabins and all.

I'd be Arthur Dent in a remake of that awful movie (and excellent book(s)) The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. I'd replace the whole cast, and switch to some rural British film company and fend the old script writers and directors with a pointy stick. I'd follow the books pretty much exactly, getting funding from my imaginary friends in Hollywood who gave me this power, and I'D REPlACE THOSE DARN VOGON SUITS WHICH LOOK LIKE A COSTUME PIECE FROM EARLY DR. WHO!!!! *ahem* err I think that's about it.2010-08-11 00:20:00

I've always wished I could spend some time on the sets of Star Wars.. back when they used real sets and props and everything wasn't green-screened. It'd be great to interact with the "real" Artoo-Deetoo and run around with Frank Oz crouching behind me making Yoda talk. To be blasting Stormtroopers and going toe to toe with David Prowse in that iconic suit and mask. To duck around the inside of the Millenium Falcon or don my X-Wing Pilot's uniform and sit in a real (fake) X-Wing cockpit. To stand before the giant puppet that was Jabba and demand Han Solo's release.
It all had to add up to one of the most unique and exciting experiences that any actor.. or person for that matter could ever take part in.
So, yeah... Luke Skywalker, ftw.

Funny you should cast me as the Lion in The Wizard of Oz, Babydoll. I played that role 25 years ago when my class performed our version of The Wiz.

Actually, I'd like to play John Travolta's character Tony Manero in the remake of Saturday Night Fever because DISCO is KING! Keep the sound track the same. I don't care who they cast opposite me, as long as she can dance.
