Oh darn, I totally had my heart set on Terry Gilliam. Well, I'm sure
Chris Columbus will do a wonderful job, anyway, given his track record
with kids' movies.

Personally, I'd rather see an unknown British youngster play Harry (I'd
rather see the entire cast as unknown Brits), but if I have to choose
from one of the aforementioned - Haley Joel Osment, Jonathan Lipnicki,
Jake Lloyd or Frankie Muniz - I'd put all of my money on Jonathan
Lipnicki. He's got just the right combination of quirky-ness and cute
adorability. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the kids, but I think
Lipnicki has the perfect quality for this particular role.

And did we all see Haley Joel Osment at the Oscars? What a CUTE kid! I
still wish he'd won, but you really have to hand it to Michael Caine -
he was so gracious that I have much more respect for him now.
