Casting- - Judgment at Nuremberg

                         

Judgment at Nuremberg is a 1961 film about the Nuremberg trials. It was an all-star cast including Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Marlene Dietrich, Richard Widmark, Judy Garland, Montgomery Cliff and the then (and to some still) unknown Maximilian Schell.

In 1948, in Nuremberg, Germany the trails of four German judges who sentenced Jews to concentration camps.

NOTE::*** I only cast one judge, do to my lack of  German actors.*****
my ideal version::::::::::::


SENATOR BURKETTE-a US senator in Germany during the trials, helps Haywood adapt to the temorary living arrangments.

Adam Arkin. a great charactor actor. (Son of Alan Arkin)


JUDGE CURTIS IVES- one of the judges presiding over the trial

Treat Williams.


JUDGE KENNETH NORRIS-one of the judges presiding over the trial.

James Remar.


CPT. HARRISON BYERS- a US Army captian that becomes Haywoods personal aid.

Benjamin Salisbury. From the Nanny


IRENE WALLER-A Jewish woman who doesnot want to testify about being sentenced to those camps but eventually does.

Christina Ricci. I dont know why I pick her, I had Anjelica Huston in mind, but I decided to go younger.


RUDOLF PETERSEN-A mentally disabled man that testifies about his parents sentencing. A one scene, oscar nominated role.

Ewan McGregor. Hes a great actor. Requires one scene.


MRS. BERTHOLT-a widowed Nazi officers wife, that befriends Haywood.

Emma Thompson. She may be too young, but with a little make-up here and there, she could do it.


HANS ROLFE- the German/French young lawyer that is defending the four judges.

Ben Whishaw. He looks European. The only problem with him is hes 30 and they cast him as Q in James Bond. Why cant they just bring back John Cleese!!!


COL. TED LAWSON- An US colonel doing the prosecution of the judges and is an execellent lawyer. Hes never lost a case, and hopes it to stay that way.

Dennis Quaid. I like Quaid and think he can play this role. Plus one of the few actors that WANTS to age like normal people...


DR. ERNST JANNING- The main German judge on trial

Gary Oldman. Im not a big fan of him as Gordon in Batman, but I think he could do this


JUDGE DAN HAYWOOD- the cheif judge on these trials. An old widowed American Southern judge

Tommy Lee Jones. In the original Haywoods from Masine, but to fit Jones' vioce and personality hes going to be from Texas(my state too)

Hope you liked it!!!!
