This is pretty cool stuff.

[CoolioD1]

Oh God, SLP starring Vince Vaughn and Zooey Deschanel would've been death.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Bettany would have made a good Javert, though.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Biel would of been awful

[Blankments]

Neeson as Lincoln would've made the Actor race more exciting (not saying he wouldn't be good, but I don't think it be sweeping like DDL)

[Michael Gary Scott]

I think it be like the actress reach with Nelson being a slight favorite

[DAR]

Very interesting

Taylor Swift

[rockNrollaDIM]

Thank god SLP casting worked itself out. Yikes.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Taylor Swift

Still would of been better than Biel

Rooney Mara in ZDT is kind of intriguing, but Chastain was wonderful. Tobey Macguire in Life of Pi?

[The Futurist]

This is funny.

I think all of them turned out for the better, except Mara as Maya in ZDT. That would've been one hell of a performance.

[ChD]

I didn't even know Watson was considered for Les Miserables. Now I'm disappointed that she didn't get the role -.-

[CoolioD1]

 Tobey Macguire in Life of Pi?

Played the author that spoke to Irrfan Khan. They actually shot the scenes with him but they reshot it because Ang didn't like it IIRC.

[The Stingray]

Thankfully they didn't go with Neeson & Marky Mark.

[Michael Gary Scott]

I think nesson would of done a decent job no ddl but decent.

[Jake Gittes]

I think all of them turned out for the better, except Mara as Maya in ZDT. That would've been one hell of a performance.

Mara is great, but I think she would have been too young. It might have worked if they had had the film take place in a span of a couple of years, but not almost a decade. They needed a 30-something actress for it and Chastain was perfect.

[riczhang]

I'm sure they could've aged Mara. Even if she looks too young I think her acting chops would more than compensate. Her performance in GWTDT (despite me not liking the movie) was pretty amazing and I think that Maya needed a little injection of Lizbeth Salander.

Rooney Mara in ZDT is kind of intriguing, but Chastain was wonderful. Tobey Macguire in Life of Pi?

He was set to play the reporter, not Pi
