Casting the Other Films

Hi! Oooh, casting...what fun! They did such a fantastic job with the 
first it will be intersesting how they do with the rest...

Cornelius Fudge > If we are doing a Python reunion why not Terry 
Jones? I always think of Fudge as a stuffy round sort of fellow. Or 
is he just too silly? Should Fudge have that evil edge? Jackobi is 
too intense for my liking; too Claudius.

Brilliant! But would you want your kids hanging around Billy 
Connolly? Could it be stipulated in his contract that he musn't 
say "*&$*&", "*^$^", or "%#$^%@&&^! ! !", and if it were, could he 
actually do it? :)

Don't take this the wrong way but...NOOOOOOOOO! This is just my 
grudge but I think Sam Neill is one of the most over-rated actors in 
the Hollywood spectrum. Did you see his King Arthur fiasco? I agree 
with whomever it was that suggested Ralph Fiennes. He has the 
gauntness and the intensity with the added bonuses that a) he is 
British and b) he knows how to act.

I like the Hugh Jackman suggestion, but does the man really want to 
be typecast as men who transform into wild beasts? And a dog might 
be considered a step down from a wolverine on the coolness scale, 
after all. :) Actually I like Jackman. He kind of reminds me of a 
young ______________________ (fill me in folks, the guy who played 
Bill Sykes in "Oliver" and died during the filming of Gladiator?), 
which is a good thing.

Take care all! Cheers!
Cheers!
