Superman is one of the worlds most recognizable superheroes. He is super strong, X-ray vision and can withstand a speeding bullet. He is a Super Man.

"It's A bird" "NO!, It's a plane" "NOO! I'ts
                                                                       SUPERMAN!!!!!

But, What is there was a movie about his life, updated to today's standards. That would be awesome.


JOR- EL-Kal- El's father of great importance to his city. He only one who truly believes Krypton will explode, so he sends his son, Kal-El on a rocket to Earth.

Sean Penn.I think he would be good at it.

LAURA-EL-Jor-El's wife. Sticks with him no matter what. Probably a housewife seen and not heard.

Brenda Strong.She is a fantastic actress.

Carey Mulligan.Who cares if shes English?? It acting!!!

LEX LUTHOR-A super genius, with a plot to world domination and kill everyone except his minions

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.

Casting- - Judgment at Nuremberg

                          File:170592-Judgment-at-Nuremberg-Posters.jpg

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!!!!

Casting- - Tarzan of the Apes

                                 First edition cover

Tarzan the Ape man is Tarzans feature debute. An action adventure novel  set in 1912, when an English expedition lands on an "unchartered" island only to find Tarzan and his apes.
but what happens to this action-adventure: it turns into a love story!

                                         

Here is my version::(from the book to screen)

LORD & LADY GREYSTOKE (TARZANS PARENTS)-Tarzans mom and dad that their ship sinks when Tarzan is just a little baby and he ends up being raised by Gorillas and the jungle.
 
Peter Krause & Stacy Haiduk. Two character actors that can act well.

PAUL D'ARNOT-A French naval officer, that Tarzan rescues from natives in the jungle. Paul teaches Tarzan even more about human civilization. He teaches him the french language, as well as how to behave as a proper white man.

Jonathan Hyde. One of my favorites, he is the actors actor. From Titanic to Anaconda in the same year, he has done it all.

WILLIAM CLAYTON-Clayton is a hunter who came on the expedition with the Porters to be their body guard or protector. After treating Tarzan poorly and with very little respect however Clayton reveals that his true motives for being there are to capture the gorillas and make a large profit off of them.

Jeremy Northam. Hes not a very big man but he can do it.

DR. PORTER-Janes old and crazy widowed dad that is on a expition to find gorillas for his book or something. Hes man favorite character in these books/films.

John Hurt. A great English actor. Hes the only one I could think of that can pull this role off.

JANE PORTER- a pretty young proper English girl, that comes from a upper-class English family that is with her fatheron his expedition. She falls for Tarzan and Clayton at the same time.

Keira Knightley.I don't know why I picked her, I just did.

TARZAN (JOHN CLAYTON)-As a baby, Tarzans parents died by a gorilla and he was raised by them and learned how to fish and hunt unmong other things. He learns alittle English from Commander D'Arnot.

Nick Ayler.This model would be in his first film. Hes really good-looking and big and looks like how I envisioned Tarzan. He could do it I think. I can see the titles And introducing ...Nick Ayler as Tarzan


So there I present you TARZAN of the Apes.

Casting- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

                                      
I like Indiana Jones movies and this is the last one to re-cast. My personal favorite of the three(I dont count the 4th as a movie, its a mockery to the series)

When Dr. Henry Jones Sr. suddenly goes missing while pursuing the Holy Grail, eminent archaeologist Indiana Jones must follow in his father's footsteps and stop the Nazis from beating him to the Grail.

THE LAST CRUSADE----

VOGEL-is a German SS officer who aids Donovan in finding the Holy Grail. The Second-in-comand

Benicio del Toro. I have no idea who this is or what kind of actor he is looks German so hes got the part.

YOUNG INDY-Indiana Jones in 1912 as a boy scout.

Logan Lerman. I dont know much about him except that he was in the Lighting Theif and it wasnt like the book...

SALLAH-Indys Egyptian friend from Raiders.

Naveen Andrews.

MARCUS BRODY-Indys boss and a scatterbrained museum curator from Raiders also.

David McCallum.

WALTER DONAVAN-is the main antagonist of the film. He is an American businessman who desires the Holy Grail in order to achieve immortality.

Kyle MacLachlan. I like him and he is a good actor plus the only one thats famous, but not too famous for the role. a character actor type.

DR. ELSA SCHNEIDER-is an Austrian art professor who desires the Grail, and like Donovan, keeps her involvement with the Nazis a secret.

Bar Refaeli. Shes more of a model than an actress but the womans young and beautiful and has a nice accent.

DR. HENRY JONES SR- is Indiana's eccentric and estranged father, who was distant from his son due to his obsessive study of the Holy Grail and its possible location.

Tom Selleck. I know I should have put Harrison Ford in the role, but Tom was set to play Indy in 1980 but Magnum PI was in the way. It worked out though.

INDIANA JONES-An American sent to find his father and the Grail before the Nazis get it.

Bradley Cooper.When you cast Indy, you have to have all three movies the same actor.


INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE....
