This is from a 'recast the fellowship of the ring ( Ring bearer, Dwarf, Elf, Ranger, Wizard)' builder at HC. You could use characters from any fictional setting.
I did two versions i liked:
All Keanu Reeves Fellowship version:
THE RING BEARER
As Kevin Lomax Keanu has faced temptation before and been burned. He knows he can do better this time.
THE COMPANION
Jack Be Nimble. This younger, more hope filled version of Keanu will try and balance out the ring bearer's darkness with his light.
THE ELF AND THE DWARF
This version of Keanu, from the magical land of San Dimas, is tall, handsome, musical, and used to the fantastic in both time and space. So is his shorter, uglier, cruder partner in crime.
THE RANGER
This Kenau is all about honor and loyalty. He's pledged himself to the fellowship and will use all his skills to keep them safe. He's keeping a close eye on the Lomax version of himself, in case the ring proves too much for him.
THE WIZARD
As Constantine, this Kenau Reeves thought he'd seen it all, but, safe guarding multiple alternate versions of himself on a Quest through a classic set of novels come to life? Thats a new one even for him. Should be interesting, though.
Recasting Casablanca:
Liam Neeson as Rick:
Liam's older than Bogart, so the age gap with ilsa will br huge, but i can't see anyone rlse doing it.
Mila Kunis as Ilsa Mund:
She has the big eyed vulnerable look, like she'd have the daddy issues to have fallen for Rick. Plus she can Black Swan the role, and nail it.
Ed Norton as Victor Lazlo:
Never understood how this actor, who was bland af, could lead the resistance much less scam a girl off Bogart, so i picked someone who can match Neeson's intensity.
Tim Roth as Captain Renault:
Roth has that been there done that face, and i could see him and Neeson having that beautiful friendship rivalry then friendship.
Steve Buscemi as Ugarte:
Easiest choice EVER.
Forrest Whitaker as Sam:
This lazy eyed bastard as the black best friend is a lock, IMO.
Michael Fassbender as Major Strasser:
Conrad Veidt played this guy smooth but menacing. Fassbender has that in him easily.
Thats pretty much all the major roles.
Left a few out but this edit feature blows for stuff like this.
