    Clint Eastwood as Judge Dredd :D

    The first choices for the leads in Deliverance (Played by Jon Voight and Burt Reynolds) were Jack Nicholson & Marlon Brando respectively. That would've been cool! :)

    The book My Sister's Keeper is currently being made into a movie and Cameron Diaz is cast as Sarah, the mother figure. I just don't see her in this role given the character created by Picoult.

    I was thinking Kate Winslet or Charlize Theron. Maybe even Michelle Pheiffer- I loved her in I Am Sam.

    I'd replace Tim Robbins in High Fidelity with Bill Murray! :)

    I'd have replaced Colin Farrell in Alexander with Heath Ledger (who was the original choice). The film would still be far from perfect but it'd be a start.

    Good man as I always maintained that he was perfect for the role also.

    Emile Hirsch (Into The Wild, Speed Racer) in the lead role of Transformers instead of Le Beouf.

    Tom Cruise as Eric D Raven in the Crow

    Then there would be no more Tom Cruise. ;)

    Wouldn't that be nice! :D Watched Cocktail last night actually, from the glory 80's days when he was semi-human! Mindless fun!

    Steve Martin as Apollo Creed.

    Emile Hirsch (Into The Wild, Speed Racer) in the lead role of Transformers instead of Le Beouf.

    I don't agree with this one- I think Emile Hirsch lacks the comic timing that Shia LaBeouf brings to all his roles. I found his sarcasim and humour to be one of many enjoyable elements of Transformers. I've heard he ad-libs some of his lines- don't know if there's any truth in this.

    I am (was) a huge Dredd fan, and obviously Stallone was wrong for the role (Dredd is NOT 5'7!!!). But I think around that time the only actor who was perfect for Dredd was Dolph Lundgren

    Good god no!!! Stallone was bad enough

    Dredd as you know is oldest judge still on active street duty, so you would needed someone old and chiselled like good auld Clint

    I'd like to replace everyone involved in the making of 'Superman Returns'.

    Fcuking dreadful.

    Lundgren would have been a hell of a lot better than Stallone - assuming he kept his helmet on! But obviously I was thinking of Dredd in his prime, circa 1980, not as he is now. Anyway, don't want to hijack the thread :D

    What about Peter Weller (Robocop) as Dredd? It's the same character but just a little less robotic.

    Or Will Young....With his big huge Dredd chin :D

    Wish they would make a new Dredd movie with Death in it. Hated that they got him to take the mask off in the film grrrrr

    Christian Bale can replace any actor. FACT.
    Heck, he could play the little girl from E.T. if he wanted to... he could also play the alien!
