For this week's Dream Cast Thursday, I will be casting a live-action version of Sleeping Beauty (1959).
In the original, the voice of Aurora was done by Mary Costa. I recast Keira Knightley.
In the original, the voice of Prince Phillip was done by Bill Shirley. I recast Jamie Bamber.
In the original, Flora (red), Fauna(green) and Merryweather (blue) were played by Verna Felton, Barbara Jo Allen, and Barbara Luddy.
I recast Emma Thompson (Flora), Gemma Jones (Fauna), and Imelda Staunton (Merryweather).
The voice of Maleficent was originally done by Eleanor Audley. I recast Harriet Walter.
So what do you all think of this cast? Who would you recast in your remake?

I really like the choices for this one especially the one for the evil fairy. i don't know though maybe it is because i grew up one the Disney one but i just don't know if all those actors could sing and I hate in movies when people sing and don't use their real voice.
Well I don't know if my remake would necessarily be a musical version since it is a little darker and closer to the original story.
They're all really good. Except I'd have Katherine Jenkins for Princess Aurora. She's not a bad actress and has an amazing voice. Keira Knightly is okay, but if they actually made a film with her as Aurora, I'd think they would make her part even bigger than it is in the cartoon 'cause of how big an actress she is :(
