Dream Cast Thursday! Cinderella

This week's Dream Cast Thursday is Cinderella. I looked at several adaptations when considering my casting. I looked at Disney's Cinderella (1950), Faerie Tale Theatre's Cinderella (1985), Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997), and Ever After (1998).

The first character that I cast was Cinderella. She has been played by Ilene Woods, Jennifer Beals, Brandy Norwood, and Drew Barrymore. For my adaptation, I cast an Australian actress named Abbie Cornish.

The second character that I recast was the Prince. He has been played by William Phipps, Matthew Broderick, Paolo Montalban, and Dougray Scott. For my adaptation, I cast an English actor named Charlie Hunnam.

The third character that I recast was the Fairy Godmother. This character has been played by Verna Felton, Whitney Houston, and Patrick Godfrey. For my adaptation, I cast an American actress named Jane Fond

The next characters that I recast were the evil stepsisters. They have been played by Rhoda Williams and Lucille Bliss and Megan Dodds and  Melanie Lynskey. For my adaptation, I recast Anna Maxwell Martin and Laura Pyper.

The last character that I recast was the Stepmother. She has been played by Eleanor Audley and Anjelica Huston. For my adaptation, I cast Susan Sarandon.

So what do you all think? What is your favorite Cinderella adaptation? Who would be in your remake?

Dream Cast Thursday! Barefoot in the Park

This week's Dream Cast Thursday is Barefoot in the Park. It was originally a play before coming to the big screen in 1967.

Barefoot in the Park, the feature film,  came out in 1976. The cast included Robert Redford as Paul Bratter, Jane Fonda as Corie Bratter, Charles Boyer as Victor Velasco, and Mildred Natwick as Ethel Banks.

In 2006, there was a Broadway revival of Barefoot in the Park. This cast included Patrick Wilson as Paul Bratter, Amanda Peet as Corie Bratter, Tony Roberts as Victor Velasco, and Jill Clayburgh as Ethel Banks.

In my remake, I would cast James Marsden as Paul Bratter, Rachel McAdams as Corie Bratter, Jean Reno as Victor Vilasco, and Cloris Leachmen as Ethel Banks.

So what do you all think? Have you seen any adaptations of Barefoot in the Park? Who would be in your remake? Leave your casts in the comments.
