cast
if you were making the ragtime movie again today, who would be your cast? i was thinking about this and want other people's opinions.
shareTough question. Id say:
Rhineland Waldo: You've got to drag some name actor out of retirement to do this one. Mickey Rooney?
Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw: supposed to be one of the most beautiful women of all time, so Id say Catherine Zeta Jones, Nicole Kidman, Charlieze Theron...any of them could do the job.
Younger Brother: Johnny Depp. He could play the role well
Colehouse Walker: This is a tough role. Denzel Washington would be the perfect choice.
Booker T. Washington: Morgan Freeman. If hes not available get Don Cheedle.
I havent thought about the rest.
I have no idea who rheinland waldo is. Haven't read the book or seen the movie. just seen the musical. Though I intend to read the book soon.
Evelyn Nesbitt, not sure.
Younger Brother: as much as i love johnny depp, i think he would be wrong for this part. Not sure who i'd pick tho, this is difficult.
Coalhouse: I think that's a good pick.
Booker T. Washington: morgan Freeman would be perfect. If not him, possibly James Earl Jones. Don Cheedle, I personally don't think would be good for the role. Besides, he's too young.
Rhinelander Waldo is the name of the 'fictional' NYC chief of police.
share
Rhineland Waldo: I'd Go for Andy Griffith (Matlock) or Albert Finney..
Evelyn Thaw: Thora Birch or Cameron Diaz..maybe Scarlett Johansson!
Younger Brother: Hey, can't Brad Dourif do it again? or I'd probably go for Johnny Depp too.. or Joaquin Phoenix.
Colehouse Walker: I think Denzel kinda looks like Rollins, but besides that, maybe Shawn Wayans could do it, and Marlon could be one of the gang-members along with the rest of the Wayans family!
Booker T. Washington: Morgan Freeman kicks ass, all day, every day! Don Cheadle is too young..James Earl Jones, perhaps he could do it as well...
and also I think that Samuel L. Jackson and Jeff Daniels and Fran Drescher and John Ratzenberger should do cameos! and Jack Nicholson could do one again too!
