I like Daniel Day-Lewis or Christian Bale for John Marston though they both should put on some weight first. I always pictured Scarlett johansson as Bonnie and Kate Mara as Abigail. Also I think Robin Williams would play the perfect Nigel West Dickens or maybe even Danny Devito

Wasn't there already a Daniel Day-Lewis type of character in the game by the oil fields?

Actually, I think the best person to play West-Dickens would be the man who actually voiced him. I can't recall his name, but he played Mr. Sweeney in Ned's Declassified School Survuval Guide.

I was just watching the tv show Banshee and it occurred to me that Antony Starr would be a great John Marston.

I've always imagined Norman Reedus playing John, but everyone's ideas sound great!

Oh and it's a miniseries on HBO, not a movie.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Get rid of Clooney, Hedlund, Brolin, Hamm, Danny *beep* Trejo, Logue, Kurt Russell(can suck a D), and Theron too. The rest, I like. Especially the Coen Bros and Daniel Day-Lewis. Jaoquin Phoenix would do well as Marston, I think. I love that you put John Hawkes in there!

I really wish Hollywood would make a movie using some of these characters and storyline. A lot of the game has some corny characters that wouldn't work well on screen, such as Nigel West Dickens.

Anyway, I loved this game. Hope they come out with another one soon!

When I was playing this game, in my mind I was like..geez Heath Ledger would make a great professor McDougall. He played similar character in The Brother's Grimm

Tim Olyphant would make a great John Marston
