If you were to cast a Night on Earth 'sequel'... YOUR choices
I see there already is a thread asking for which cities you would make a "Night on Earth" in, well I would also like to know which actors you would cast for such a film. This includes the added challenge that the cab driver must speak the language of whatever country they are in (unless it's another immigrant like Helmut in the original:)
Also, since it's "Night on Earth" you can't really make a movie that just takes place in the US for example. And since it's supposed to be "night" at the same time everywhere you can't really stretch the movie out across 16 time zones and so on...
If it was my movie I might go for something like this, in the following order:
* San Antonio TX, USA (driver: Tony Shalhoub / passenger: Laura Linney)
* New Orleans, USA - (Alfre Woodard/Peter Falk)
* Liverpool, England - (Eddie Izzard/Colin Salmon)
* Oslo, Norway - (Bjørn Sundquist/Liv Ullmann)
* Beirut, Lebanon - (Mohammad Bakri/Omar Sharif)
