picspam remake: dark shadows cast.
to answer what is probably the biggest question: why?
Yes. I've already done this. I'm well aware that I've already done this, and I still went and did it again. Because I was bored. Like, really, really bored. On a Sunday night. With nothing else to do. Then I remembered I'd thought up casting for characters that weren't cast in the old spam, so the natural reaction was to do the entire thing all over again. Or something. Also, apparently I've decided I'm going to write a reboot fic. Obviously I need ~image references. Yeah, I know, but there's ~moar~ this time. Also I ~changed people. You should look. It's awesome. Also I feel like I'm going to ramble forever because I'm bored - that could provide some amusement.
victoria winters: zooey deschanel.
No, she hasn't changed. No, she probably never will. Yes, when the official casting is announced, I will probably rage and be bitter about it - even if it's Anne Hathaway - if/because it's not Zooey. That's how attached I am to this. It's probably a little bit unhealthy. I should step back. :|
barnabas collins: johnny depp.
Because. It's. Official? idk. I still honestly think he'd make a better Nicholas (not Quentin, shockingly enough) than a Barnabas, but I'm okay with Barnabas as well. I feel like he'll do an awesome job. Every other time I've been like "wtf is this" about his acting, he always proves me completely wrong, so there you have it.
maggie evans/everyone played by kathryn leigh scott: anne hathaway.
Do not ask me why I am so anti-Anne-as-Victoria, because I do not have a legitimate answer. I know she'd do an awesome job. She's wonderful. Which is why I'm okay with her as Maggie... I guess. Seriously - if they have Maggie instead of Victoria, dnw Zooey playing Maggie, if that were to be the case. Anne. All the way. But not as Vicki. My mind - it makes no sense. :|
angelique: amanda seyfried.
I PROMISE THINGS GET DIFFERENT VERY VERY SOON. I feel like I've already explained Amanda as Angie - even though it's based more on looks than on acting ability - but I still think she's awesome and could totally rock it. Just saying.
willie loomis: emile hirsch.
HAH. TOLD YOU. AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU STUCK AROUND? YEAH YOU ARE. So. I was watching the Speed Racer movie last night (which is brilliant. I know haters gonna hate, but seriously. It's amazing.) and something clicked. So. The old casting was Joseph Gordon Levitt, and while I'd still be all, "OMG YAY FOREVER" if he somehow got the role - I really really really want Emile Hirsch to get it now. Oh, my life.
julia hoffman: nicole kidman.
OHHHHH I SWITCHED THINGS UP ON YOU DIDN'T I? HELL YEAH I DID. Anyway, no real explanation for this. I just came to the conclusion suddenly that Nicole needed to be Julia and not Laura. And it would be awesome.
elizabeth collins-stoddard: jessica harper.
Partly because I'm too lazy to choose another actress, partly because her connection to Joan Bennett in Suspiria still makes me lol. A lot.
carolyn stoddard: elisabeth harnois.
I'm not going to lie, Candice Accola is getting on my nerves for some reason. I recently found out that she was in Supernatural ("After School Special")... and I was like, "lol no," and almost immediately recast her. For some reason. I haven't seen much that Elisabeth is in (other than Ten Inch Hero and that old Alice in Wonderland TV show they used to have on Disney but I don't think that counts, actually), but she's kind of adorable, can't lie. So yeah.
roger collins: john simm.
IF THIS MAN IS NOT CAST, I WILL WEEP. Okay, I'm done.
quentin collins: jim sturgess.
Another thing that I'm too lazy to change - or do the research about, apparently. I've only seen him in Across the Universe (which I didn't like) and 21 (which I didn't really pay attention to). Somehow, I guess he just looks the part to me. He can totally play a black-sheep-magnificent-bastard-jackass. And look fabulous while doing it.
beth chavez: emilie de ravin.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEASE? DDDD:
jenny collins: anna friel.
So I've only seen her in Pushing Daisies where... she... doesn't actually go crazy. At all. But you know what, she's an established actress, she has to have some ability. And she looks like she could do it. I trust her. Initially, I wanted to put Helena Bonham Carter here, but uhm, given the circumstances, it wouldn't work.
laura collins: helena bonham carter.
What circumstances? THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. If Laura is in this movie, and HBC is not cast, I will rage - unless the actress they pick is really, really good. I totally wouldn't mind her doing this part at all - not that I mind her being in Burton's movies because, well, I kind of love her a lot. But yeah - I was watching the show, and Diana Millay did something that just made me go "SDFJLSDJFSDKLJF WHY ISN'T HBC DOING THIS oh right she was like just born."
nicholas blair: patrick dempsey.
STILL HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS OTHER THAN HE WOULD LOOK FABULOUS BEING EVIL IN A GREEN SUIT AND A HAT. JUST SAYING.
professor stokes: chi mcbride.
Did I just cast Emerson Cod as Professor Stokes? Hell yes I did, and it's wonderful, and dammit, I want this to happen sfm. It'd be kind of awesome. Only I'd sit there the whole time being like LOL EMERSON - WAIT - NO - FML.
reverend trask: jeremy irons.
Yes, he can be creepy, and yes, he's awesome, but that's beside the point - I JUST MADE THIS ALREADY AMAZING MOVIE INFINITELY MORE AMAZING. ANY EXCUSES AS TO WHY I'M NOT HIRED YET? BAW. D:
burke devlin gtfo: ryan reynolds OR jensen ackles.
I think Ryan Reynolds looks the part more, but I'm keeping Jensen around for the lulz. I CANNOT LET GO~~~.
jeff clark/peter bradford/the same goddamn characters all the time because roger davis has no acting range: chris pine.
Please, please, please, if this character is in the movie, give him an awesome actor so people can actually like him. Also, Chris Pine kinda looks like him. And he's in the right ~age range with everyone else. So.
joe haskell: jake gyllenhall.
These last three? Totally just for my own reference. Speaking of that - yeah, I don't know. I felt like having a ~visual reference for if/when I wrote this fic, and I mean, Joe needs to be in it. All-American boyfriend and all that, idek. He just needs to be there.
chris jennings: lee pace.
I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ROPED THREE OUT OF FOUR MAIN PUSHING DAISIES CAST MEMBERS INTO MY CAST. MUWAHAHAHAHA.
peter guthrie: jack davenport.
Yeah, I know. I hear those crickets. That's the sound of nobody remembering who this guy is but me. I don't know why, but no lie, I was a fan. Possibly because he reminded me of (my interpretation via RP) Jonas Fogg from Sweeney Todd, so I mean, we had to be ~besties. It was kind of a big deal. As for Jack Davenport... it makes sense in my head do not question it. Actually, I have no idea.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. IDK. BOREDOM CURED.
