Ok, finally finishing up these old casts from 2009, then on to 2010. Say, I'm not behind schedule or anything, am I?
(500) DAYS OF SUMMER
Ben and Kirby as Summer and Tom
Because Ben is a hopeless romantic, and Kirby was hard to read when I first met her. Of course, their relationship, 500+ days so far, went a little more smoothly.
UP
Ben as Carl Fredricksen
The crotchety cynic would stretch him a bit, but you know that little Carl in the movie theater was Ben for his entire life.
Stevie as Russell
Kurtis as Dug
Close your eyes. Picture Kurtis, excitable as always, calming down to say, "I was hiding under your porch because I love you." Now nod in satisfaction. That's so him.
Gaby as Kevin
Kevin's a girl!
Mike as Charles Muntz
The turtleneck would look good on him. He and Ben could play great off each other. And he'd get a real kick out of being such a class-act villain.
Caleb as Alpha, Gabe as Beta, Danny as Gamma
Hahahahaha!
Lea as Ellie
She's one of the few I know who can be both girlish and womanly at the drop of a hat.
UP IN THE AIR
Gabe as Ryan Bingham
Easy sexy cool that hides a vulnerability.
Roxanna as Alex Goran
This is who I pictured when I read the book. She brings such confidence, you know?
Amanda as Natalie Keener
I feel like she could be more convincing in the whip-smart young genius part of the role. She could nail the firing scene, no problem. Also, she really loves this movie, so she'd love to be a part of it.
Tim as Craig Gregory
Because who doesn't love watching Tim and Gabe work off each other? With Tim as a douchey character?
Gemma as Kara
For Ryan's sister, I wanted someone who could have a believable family resemblance and also take charge of a situation. Someone who can be bossy in a caring way. In short, a big sister. Gemma!
Paula as Julie Bingham
Ben as Jim Miller
Quiet humor in a sincere role.
Me as Maynard Finch
Look at that mustache. That's MY mustache.
