Casting - - THE EXORCIST

****************I edited this just now, thanks to some comments and responses********
This is my first casting, so be easy on me.
                                                   
In 1973, a horror film was released named "The Exorcist" starring Ellen Brustyn, Max vonSydow, Lee J. Cobb, Jason Miller, and young Linda Blair. On its release it was the movie to go see. Making #1 on the box office charts for 1973. People Were throwing up, running out of the theatre and couldn't sleep for weeks.

I just finished reading the book and re-re casted my old version of re-casting. I changed up Lt. Kimderman and Father Karras.
Raegen MacNeil is an 14 year old girl, that has a mom actress and dad is out-of-the-picture. They seem happy. One day Raegen starts acting up at a party and one thing leads to another and Raegen has become the devil herself. The director of the film her mom is in suddenly dies misterously after seeing Raegen. Two priest come and preform an "exorcism" on them.

Casting- - Pet Sematary

                    
Pet Sematary is a 1989 movie based off Stephen Kings classic novel.


A young couple and their young children move into a nice house in urban Maine. Where they befriend the old and kind neighbor. After their cat dies, he shows them a Indian burial ground where animals can come back to life, but they are different. Within a few months, their baby boy dies and the husband goes crazy and buries him on the grounds. But he comes back and wants to kill anybody in his path.

The movie was taken to mixed reviews. I liked it all. Fred Gwynne as the old man, and everyone else are still unknown. Its an intresting movie.

There has been news of a remake comming along soon, in like the next year or two, but I donot know.

VICTOR PASCOW:a student at the college that Dr. Creed is at. On his first day he dies and he comes back in either Mrs. Creeds or Mr. Creeds dreams and warms them of certian things.

Ryan Carnes. Hes the only one I could think of. Hes early 20's and is usally in just television.


RACHEL CREED:a young doctors wife, that when her son dies, her husband sends her and her 6 year old to her parents, where he buries the son. She stupidly comes back and gets her pernament punishment for it.

Lacey Chabert. Shes smart, pretty and her cousins are pretty good friends of mine.

JUD CRANDALL:an old, widower that befriends the Creeds and they become best friends. He is the one that show them the burial grounds which is the worst mistake ever. He gets an awful payback that results being with his wife.

John Larroquette.One of the hardest but easiest to cast. Everyone from Alan Alda to Robert Wagner. John is one of my favorite actors and I think he can do it.


LOUIS CREED:a doctor that goes crazy when his son dies and he gets an awful fate towards the end.

Jesse Metcalfe. I like him, I think hes a good actor. Nice, charming and good looking. I could see him go crazy.

Casting - - Overboard

                                      
A rich society woman falls off her yacht and get told lies

Overboard is a movie fro made late '80s starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. It is a good movie, but it could have been done better.

I want to do it better, so here it is
                                           OVERBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

BILLY PRATT: Deans redneck friend that likes to sleep around.

Jason Lee. Kind of a simple casting choice I think  

ANDREW:Joannas faithfull butler that takes so much crap from her. the "AND" at the starring credits.

David Hyde Pierce. He has always been like Roddy McDowal to me


EDITH MINTZ: Joannas rich, busy-body mother, that when Joanna goes missing, she calls Grant every day(more like every hour)

Holland Taylor. She could do more things than Katherine Helmond did in this role...

GRANT STAYTON:Joannas husband that is living off her and when Joanna goes missing he has 20 year old bikini women.

John Slattery. He is one of my "regulars". He is the only one I could really think of anyway.

DEAN PROFFIT:a hick/redneck carpenter that is struggling to make ends meet. He fixes Joannas closet in the begining and gets back at her by telling her lies about her life when she gets found.

Matt Damon. I think he could do it.

JOANNA STAYTON:a rich rude woman that falsl off her yacht and is forced to live with a poor family.

Julia Roberts. I think she could play this role well.

Casting- - Nixon

                

One of my favorite films of all-time is Nixon(1995). I am a big political person/follower. Nixon is one of the best movies out there is you ask me. Theres tons of famous people from Anthony Hopkins to Larry Haggman to Madeline Kahn. Its a good film and portrays Watergate right (thats what my 75 year old grandpa says at least) .
