    Oh, so it's going to be an accurate account of what happened then?


    I just hope Michael Bay directs, then you don't need to waste time on script etc, so cast won't matter.
    Explosion, dramatic music, explosion.
    Rinse and repeat

    Unfortunately his type of "method acting" and immersion in this role could lead to forms of extremeism!!

    Osama Bin Laden - Dustin Hoffman
    Goat #1 - The dog from Frasier
    Good call on both counts there, I'd love to see that.

    Will Smith as Obama. Would have to include obligatory topless work out scene at the beginning. Not that I'd drool over Will Smith, but I'm not sure I'd recognise him otherwise.

    Any suggestions for Sarah Palin? I'd say Willem Dafoe would do a good job if we put some lipstick on him...

    Osama - Michael Fassbender
    Obama - Will Smith
    Hilary - Meryl Streep

    Without a doubt Osama would have to be played by Christopher Lee, he's also massively tall, looks great in a beard with robes combo and is always Eviiiiilllllll...*

    *though hollywood being the way it is these days the Al-Quida would have to be vampires (which explains their love of caves)

    For the inevitable summer blockbuster, who plays who??

    Osama Bin Laden - Dustin Hoffman
    The Woman He Loved - Geeta (from eastenders)
    President Obama - Sam Jackson
    President Bush - Steve Martin
    Hillary Clinton - Cameron Diaz
    Henchman 1 - Ross Kemp
    Henchman 2 - Kevin Costner
    Henchman 3 - Sanjay (from eastenders)
    Goat #1 - The dog from Frasier
    I hope you've been drinking because that is
    possibly the worst casting ever thought up! Hoffman is 20 years older than Bin Laden and looks nothing like him. Unless you want him to wear face paint ala Team America style! Clinton is also much older than Cameron Diaz and there is little resemblance in looks or character. Somebody like Meryl Streep would be a much better choice. As for Costner and Kemp playing Arabs, its hardly worth thinking about :D

    I also doubt very much they would choose Pakistani actors from an average English soap when there are hundreds of better ones in Bollywood and the States to choose from.
