Casting for remake
I know this definitely shouldn't be remade, but if it was my casting would be
Kevin Spacey as George
Helen Mirren as Martha
Paul Rudd as Nick
and probably Carey Mulligan as Honey
Paul Rudd is 44 years old... no way.
If the movie were to be remade in 1995, then I can sort of imagine it, but that would make Carey Mulligan 10 years old. Helen Mirren.....hmmmm...well.... I guess, maybe.
Even Kevin Spacey looks his age, 55.
Now I know why you picked Spacey. American Beauty. However, if they had remade WAOVW instead of making AB, I think Kevin and Annette Benning would be great for the parts of George and Martha.
Nick... would possibly be.... Edward Norton? (this is if the movie were remade in 1999)
Honey.... Sarah Jessica Parker (when she was a lot younger)
and somehow Anna paquin comes to mind. I think she can really play it.

Their age doesn't matter too much, what matters is what age can they play.
I agree with Edward Norton, he would've been good. In fairness, it's not too important who should play Honey, there's so many actress' who could pull that off.
I think Annette Bening is far too loud and annoying to play Martha. She's suppose to be slightly bubbly and middle-aged looking.
