Director's Cast List

Started by WinonaForever2 pages

if u were a director who would u cast

If you were a film director allowed to select any (LIVING) actors to cast in your large and successful filmography, who would you choose?

here is my list

Male:
leonardo dicaprio
johnny depp
tom hank
will smith
denzel washington
samuel jackson

Female:
Winona Ryder
Kate winslet
Nicole kidman
kate beckinsale
cate blanchett

Impossible to say.. If I was a director I would love to work with Pacino.. but I wouldn't cast him as the main charcter in a teen comedy because he wouldn't be right for the part. It would depend on the role, the character, the genre pretty much everything.

nice choice

You listed a great group of actors. However I don't think I could make that decision until I knew what the movie was about.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Kyle MacLachlan/Bruce Campbell - deserve better work

James Dean, of course, if he were alive.

Sean Penn
Daniel Day Lewis
Clint Eastwood
Robert DeNiro

I would go see that movie for sure! They'd all be great in like a mafia movie, or a Western. Maybe even a serious space movie.

Christian bale, russel crowe, willam dafoe, adrian brody, ed norton, thomas jane, sam jackson, Micheal cain, john cusack.

Milla jovovich, kate winslet, tilda swinton, holly hunter, ellen burstyn, meryl streep, judi dench, joan cusack and of course uma thurman

However, if i were a famous director, i would probably invest my money into cloning so i could clone steve mcqueen. Hollywood is missing the cool aspect that Mcqueen and cats from his day brought to the screen.

Daniel Day Lewis is such a bad ass actor

very very good question my friend.

Everytime I watch an under-rated movie with under-rated actors/actresses, I always wish I could cast them in my own movie.

First actor and actress on my list would be....Sean Bean and Cameron Diaz.

Bean is my iddle, sheer class and his acting is 2nd to none.
Diaz on the other hand is just my favourite actress due to the fact she is loopy and so down to earth. I love watching her interviews.

Actors
Sean William Scott
Jim Carrey
Mark Wahlberg
Danny Dyer
Christopher Walken

Actresses
Lucy Liu
Jennifer Aniston
Christina Applegate
Liv Tyler

thats about it guys,

Actors:

Josh Hartnett
Bruce Willis
Tom Cruise
Orlando Bloom

Actresses:

Angelina Jolie
Paris Hilton (I want to kill her in a suspense horror film like House of Wax)
Lucy Liu
Jessica Biel (She's sexy)

sort of did enjoy the paris scene in house of wax....haha nice choice.

Don't agree with Jolie though dude, just have a general dislike for her acting.

Discos - damn you MRS SMITH!

Yeah I wouldn't be able to choose anyone unless I knew what the story was. But I would probably make a film that would have roles specially written for Christian Bale and Kate Winslet. I can't think of anyone else in particular right now. Like I'd need some older actors too and some younger ones but I shall have a think later as I'm tired now and can't be bothered to think haha.

Kate Winslet, for me, has came out of nowhere the past year or so, it's great because she is such a dedicated actress.

Christian Bale has been voted a few many times in this Thread, he is another great actor that has crept up the past 2-3 years. Loved him in Equilibrium & The Machinist...but don't rate him in Batman Begins

What about in American Psycho? He's amazing in that!

darn straight dude, only seen the film twice of course but it seemed like a tough role to take, so serious.

I think I've only seen it twice too.

I remember youuu from the Lord of the Rings forum! Dunno if you remember me. You must be quite old (haha not properly old obviously) now, as I was only 14 when I first came on here and now I'm 18 and I remember you being about 16 or older when I was first on here.

Edit: OK you were only one year older than me I just looked haha!

haha yeah I remember you, can't forget a screen name like that.

I am 19 now 🙂

anyways, a couple of fringe actors I would give minor roles to would possibly be....Brian Cox, Janel Moloney (from the west wing), Samuel L Jackson,

Just as a poke of fun, I would have a scene at a sporting event or a drive-thru restraunt where JAMES EARL JONES makes an announcment or takes your order.

Oh no, I don't really like Samuel L Jackson. I don't hate him or anything, I just don't him in my film haha.

Forgive my ignorance but I don't know who James Earl Jones is. I recognise the name though *thinks*

thumbsup Voice of Darth Vader, voice of Mufasa in the Lion King, and he played supporting roles in tons of films, most notably Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner.
