Dream Cast Thursday! Twilight

For this week's "Dream Cast Thursday," I will be recasting Twilight. The original cast includes: Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene), Rosalie Hale (Nikki Reed), Jasper Hale (Jackson Rathbone), Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz), Dr. Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli), Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), Esme Cullen (Elizabeth Reaser)

My recasting includes: Bella Swan (Emmy Rossum), Edward Cullen (James Franco), Alice Cullen (Natalie Portman), Rosalie Hale (Amber Heard), Jasper Hale (Trent Ford), Emmett Cullen (Channing Tatum), Dr. Carlisle Cullen (Jason Lewis), Jacob Black (Steven Strait), and Esme Cullen (Rachel Weisz).











It was really hard trying to find the right Edward. I know that James Franco might not be the obvious choice for a seventeen year old looking vampire, but when I saw the above picture from SNL, it seemed really right.

Dream Cast Thursday! High Society

Today is the first official Dream Cast Thursday Blog Post. This week I am recasting High Society. It originally came out in 1956. It was a musical remake of the Philadelphia Story (which originally came out in 1940 and was an adaptation of the play of the same name).
High Society starred Grace Kelly as Tracy Samantha Lord, Bing Crosby as C.K. Dexter-Haven, Frank Sinatra as Mike Connor, and Celeste Holm as Liz Imbrie. This is one of my favorite films, and I have often thought about how I would re-cast it were I to make a remake.
I would cast Claire Forlani as Tracy Samantha Lord (in the past I haven't really liked her that much, but hey, if Dougray Scott Likes her, she must be okay). I would cast Patrick Wilson as C.K. Dexter-Haven. I would cast James Franco as Mike Connor and Cate Blanchett as Liz Imbrie.

If any of you have any opinions of the cast or ideas for future "Dream Cast Thursdays" please leave your ideas in the comments.
