If this movie was being made today, what actors would you cast?


Here's my pick:

Charlie Croker - Jason Statham
Mr. Bridger - Anthony Hopkins
Lorna - Saffron Burrows
Camp Freddy - Martin Freeman
Altabani - Alessandro Gassman
Prof. Peach - Timothy Spall
Roger Beckerman - Liam Neeson

Of course, all this doesn't mean this movie needs a remake. It's just a game, that's all, mate.

there is one casting decision i know i would make!

in the film there's a character called bill bailey. so who better to play him than british comedian BILL BAILEY!

reply

Yes Bill Bailey playing Bill Bailey would be an excellent choice. Just so long as they use original Mini Coopers, then I'll be really pleased.

But saying that, why bother remaking it at all when it's virtually perfect anyway.

My wife bought me the standard DVD version for Fathers Day and it came sealed and has 2 discs (Blu-Ray, due to it's extra layers technology obviously only requires the 1 disc).

But there was no information leaflet inside the case, should there have been?



The extra's are pretty good and I'd say it's well worth investing in a copy if you love this film, even if you bought the earlier DVD release.
