Dream Cast Thursday! Bringing Up Baby

This week's Dream Cast Thursday is Bringing Up Baby. The original film came out in 1938 and was written by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde and directed by Howard Hawks.

The film focuses on a serious paleontologist named Dr. David Huxley and an eccentric heiress named Susan Vance. They were originally played by Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. For my adaptation, I cast Matthew Bomer and Thandie Newton.

So what do you all think? Have you seen the original? Who would be in your remake?

Dream Cast Thursday! Charade

For this week's Dream Cast Thursday, I will be recasting Charade. The original film came out in 1963. In 2002, a remake called the Truth About Charlie came out.

The original film was written by Peter Stone and directed by Stanley Donen. The two main characters are Peter Joshua and Regina Lampert. They were played by Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.

The 2002 remake was written and directed by Jonathan Demme. Regina Lambert was played by Thandie Newton, and Joshua Peters was played by Mark Wahlberg.

For my remake, Regina Lampert would be played by Emily Blunt, and Peter Joshua would be played by Eric Bana.

So what do you all think? Have you all seen Charade and the Truth About Charlie? Who would be in your remake? Leave your casts in the comments.

Rocknrolla

I know that my blog has been getting VERY review heavy. I promise to remedy this very soon, but for now, I absolutely must talk about how much I LOVED Rocknrolla!

Now before anyone asks, YES, Guy Ritchie is definitely back! As with all Guy Ritchie films, you have to just jump right in. There is not a lot of exposition, so it may take the viewer a while to catch his or her bearings. It was a little hard for me to get into the film right away, but there was one scene when suddenly I just knew (once you see it, you'll know what scene it is) that this would be my new favorite Guy Ritchie film.

Now, I don't know if there are any Gerard Butler fans out there, but if so, this film is a definite must. Now, Gerard Butler was not in very much of the trailer, so I assumed that he would be a minor character. This was not the case. Gerard Butler and Tom Hardy absolutely made the film. Along with them, the film had an amazing cast including Gemma Arterton, Ludacris, Jimi Mistry, Thandie Newton, Jeremy Piven, Mark Strong, and Tom Wilkinson.
