What if you could cast your dream movie?

[Arkham House]

Anyone have any fantasy movie casting they'd like to see...? Here's a few of mine...Bruce Willis as Philip K Dick. Robert de Niro as Ahab. Susan Sarandon as Mary Lincoln. Morgan Freeman as Frederick Douglass. Johnny Depp as Aaron Burr. I wish that Sean Connery had played Alfred Bester's Gully Foyle, from *The Stars My Destination*, when he was younger, and that Jack Nicholson could have played Gatsby. Anyone else?

1. I'm going to have to think about that one...

The question is, do you start with a book or play, or with a historical character, or with your favorite actors?

Must mull it over...

2. I'd go Robert Downey Jr for Philip K Dick--he's essentially already been method acting for the role

3. I wouldn't mind seeing a screen version of "The Real Thing."

That's a Tom Stoppard comedy. I see Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson playing Annie and Henry, perhaps with Hugh Laurie as Max. No ideas yet on the others.

On edit: I'd also like to see George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man made into a movie, definitely with a British cast, maybe with Rufus Sewell as Sergius.
