If you could cast any actors (dead or alive) to play your main characters who would you cast?

I'm going to overextend my interpretation of the "dead or alive" part to include older actors in different eras of their lives. Anyway (Ahem).

Eduardo Noriega as Jean DiPietro

Alan Tudyk circa 2001 as Fletcher

Joe Jonas in mustache mode as Ivan Ibañez. He's 27 in this photo but he's 34 now so he's the perfect age to play him too if he just returns to the mustache.

Ricky "Steamboat" Blood circa 1983 as Crow

Miguel Angel Muñoz as Alfonso Villalba (if only I could get him to shave)

Ethan Lamb Kelly as Ashley Walker, I'm pretty sure he can do a convincing Califonrian accent with enough training.

Moses Thiessen as Thaddeus Clydesdale. Word is that he's gotten more jacked in his post-Riverdale years and soon he'll be buff enough to be a perfect Thad.

Timothee Chalamet as young Benji

Hafþór Björnsson as Basher

Liam Hemsworth as Jäger

No idea who'd play Walter, he just is the mask.

Baz Luhrmann Teases Possibility Of ‘Elvis’ Stage Musical

He didn’t, however, rule anything out. Baz Luhrmann, whose 2001 film Moulin Rouge was adapted into a Broadway blockbuster musical in 2018, believes a similar route for his 2022 Elvis Presley biography is unavoidable. Luhrmann attended the Teenage Cancer Trust event, which was sponsored by Moulin Rouge The Musical. The first stage performance inspired by Presley would not be an Elvis musical: Bye Bye Birdie debuted in 1960, and All Shook Up, a jukebox musical containing Presley songs and a script by Joe DiPietro, launched on Broadway in 2005, with Cheyenne Jackson portraying an Elvis-like rocker named Chad.

‘Diana the Musical,’ Starring Jeanna de Waal, a Foray Into the��Tabloids

Jeanna de Waal in Diana The Musical (Matthew Murphy) Billions of words and their attendant photos have attempted to characterize The Princess of Wales, Diana Spencer, including the statements she contributed in her well publicized television interviews. Regardless, the many iterations of her life (Diana the Musical, Spencer, The Crown, documentaries, etc.) are fictionalized. We will never know…

The Weekly Gravy #63

Thief (1981) – ***½ Underneath the slick cinematography and the amazing score by Tangerine Dream, Thief is a study of the contrast between hard-boiled professionalism and emotional naïveté. Frank (James Caan) is a brilliant safecracker, one who knows all the precautions to take, all the research to do, and all the people to do what he can’t do himself—like crafting a torch to burn through the…
