Any thoughts about Cary Elwes as LUPIN.

His the right height and weight, he looks like he could play a gentle
but tortured soul.  He looks a bit young in the publicity photos, but
you can't real trust them. I think with a little make-up they could
age and stress him a bit.

Basically, take his 'Jungle Book'(1994) look and roughen it up a bit
with his 'Shadow of the Vampire' (2000) look, and you're almost there.

If Gary Oldman in truly cast already, I would prefer that he play
Lupin. I think they need someone a little darker to play Sirius.

Now Timothy Spall strikes me more as a Moody than a Petigrew. 

So, let's see-
 
Here is my casting call-

Cary Elwes - Lupin
Jason Carter - Black
Gary Oldman - Petigrew
Timothy Spall - Moody

Now all we need is a Crouch Jr.
