Call this the extra credit question - you do the same thing as in the other casting director thread (recast famous films), but with ILE celebrities. Go at it.

I pull an Alec Guiness in Kind Hearts and Coronets move and star in every role in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Well, I can dream.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kicking & Screaming, starring me as Max Filmont, Ramon as Friedrich the Eurotrash Guy, girl I met briefly at O'Hurley's who looks like Olivia d'Abo as Jane, Josh as Grover, Solinger as Chet, Emma as Miami, Mike Hanle y as Skippy, and Ally as Josselyn. Otis would not be in the movie, his character is a disgrace to my name.

I would like it to be a remake of The Jerk starring me as Navin, Dave Q as that lady on the motorbike, Josh as Marie (well he did propose to me, so he gets to be a star, ok? casting couch, a little bit of flattery goes a long way, this is Hollywood not la la land), and Nathalie as the assassin.

Or, Heart of Glass by Werner Herzog starring me as the guy who puts his hand to his head as slowly as snail and says 'A galaxy of chaos hurts my head', and Doomie as the sinister midget butler, and Dave Q as the naive peasant girl who gets killed by me, and Duane as the guy who holds a deck of cards in the pub and never looks away from them like a robot, and Robin Carmody as the guy who falls on top of his friend and kills him and then dances with him when he's dead, and DG as the guy who gets fallen on, and Mark S as the guy who plays the accordion for the horrible dead man dancing, and as the wise and all seeing shepherd Melissa, the shy one

wizard of oz with anthony as dorothy, hanle y as lion, ally as the wicked witch etc

― Geoff, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wanna be a Flying Monkey. Other than that, I am uncastable.

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since I don't know any of you, you all star in "The man without a face" to me!!!!!!!!!! Ok Ok sorry, the man/woman/gypsy/....

― Ronan Fitzgerald, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The question was prompted, for the record, by my roommate requesting I "put in" to remake Some Like It Hot starring me as Marilyn, Ramon as Tony Curtis, and Otis as Jack Lemmon. Why she thought I had the pull to "put in" for that, I don't know.

― Ally, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So this is all my heartfelt proposal of marriage nets me - the chance to dress up in dragg for a remake of a Steve Martin movie. Great.

― Josh, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ILEasy Rider with Kate as Captain America/Peter Fonda and Ally as Billy/Dennis Hopper. Hanle y in the Jack Nicholson part, Otis as Robert Walker, Jr., Anthony and Geoff as Karen Black and Toni Basil. Mark S as Phil Spector the Connection. Assorted hippies and mimes played by Ned, Dan, Nathalie, DG, Tom, Josh, Pete, Nick.

Or how about Valley of the ILE Dolls with Ally as Neely and Momus as Helen Lawson? Or Beyond the Valley of the ILE Dolls with the Lollies as the Carrie Nations and Doomie as Z-Man?

― Arthur, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You've made me either a hippie or a mime? Arthur, I thought you were my friend! ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Logan's run, with Ally as Jenny Agutter, Tom as Logan, Josh as the other Sandman, Sarah as the deranged plastic surgeon, Mike Hanley as the strange child Jenny finds in the slums, and Mark S as the oldest man alive (for he is).

― Graham, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OK OK, I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.

How about Foxes, with Ned as Jodie F./Jeanie, Anthony as Cherie C./Annie, Ally as Dierdre, me as Madge (couldn't think of anyone I'd wish that role on), Emma or Kerry as Jeanie's tortured mom/Sally Kellerman, Jerry as sexy older man Jay/Randy Quaid, Mark S. as Adam Faith/Jeanie's groovy dad, Lyra as Madge's no nonsense in your face little sister, Ethan as Brad/Scott Baio, Dave Q as Annie's psycho cop Dad. Special guest appearance by Nicole as Laura Dern the Partycrasher aka Jumpsuit. And introducing the Clientele as Angel.

can you telli clipped and pasted from imbd

― anthony, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well gee, now that you mention it...

― Josh, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Obviously, I conceive of my husband as too innocent to be cast in an 'art' movie. You're lucky you're allowed to work at all.

― maryann, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Logans' Run rules. I dig the murderous robo man. I woudl cast me in Akira Kurasawa's dreams as the litte boy who sees the Fox Wedding.

― Mike Hanle y, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ooh, a kept man, I dig it.

― Josh, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yikes! Eve Harrington? I'm far too old.

― Arthur, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ILEasy Rider with Kate as Captain America/Peter Fonda and Ally as Billy/Dennis Hopper

Me as Dennis Hopper is clearly the best thing I ever read in my entire life. Holy fuck.

― Ally, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure:

Ted = Mike Hanley
Bill = Ally
Rufus = jel
Napoleon = Tom
Billy the Kid = the pinefox
Abraham Lincoln = Anthony
Genghis Khan = Ned
Joan of Arc = Nathalie
Socrates = Mark S
Freud = DG

More an exercise in surrealism than a comment on anyone's personality, I hasten to add!

― jel, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ooh! Ooh! I get to be a cocaine-addled sex maniac! Hooray!

― DG, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fuck you DG. I want the Coke Whore of the Subconcious. I get the spare boring teetotalling ugly man who gets shot. *pouts*

― anthony, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

also he had terrible constipation anthony

― mark s, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― DG, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No i will destroy you with my beard

― anthony, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Opps! I forgot Beethoven!...Who wants to play Beethoven?

― jel, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

JOAN OF ARC?!?!? I'd rather be ET than Joanie! Or do you mean that emo band? That could be problematic. ;-)

― nathalie, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Anthony, I do not fear your beard. You will fear me, with my new short hair and sunglasses I look like a bouncer. As in club doorman, not the dog from Neighbours.

― DG, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rufus lieks me better anyhow.

― anthony, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Excuse me, but I think proper casting would make ME Ted "Theodore" Logan, thanks.

― Ally, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ally: "Anyhow, my neighbors across the shaft in the other building are always seeing me naked. They like it, what's the harm? Who hasn't seen me naked?" Jenny Agutter: "Our clothes are wet. Let's take them off before we freeze" QED

― Graham, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Was there ever a film where JA didn't say that? (That she was in, I mean: it wasn't in Pokemon 3)

― mark s, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Did she say that in 'The Railway Children' ??

― Andrew L, Saturday, 25 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
