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 - - Hairspray

Hairspray.jpg

In 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, plump teenager Tracy Turnblad's dream is to dance on The Corny Collins Show, a local TV dance program.When Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight. She then launches a campaign to integrate the show.

Hairspray was made in 1988, then a Broadway musical in 2002, and now a movie in 2007.

My version:::

MR. PINKY- who owns a dress shop called Mr. Pinky's Hefty Hideaway. He hires Tracy as his spokesgirl

John Astin. An old comedian in a small role.

HARIMAN F. SPLITZER- the owner of the "Ultra Clutch" company and the main sponsor of The Corny Collins Show. Although Mr. Spritzer prefers to keep The Corny Collins Show segregated, he will follow public opinion if it increases sales.

Mitch Ryan. A great old(83) character actor that is funnny and dramatic in the same scene.

PRUDY PINGLETON-Penny's mother, a zealous Catholic whose strict parenting keeps Penny from experiencing social life.

Bebe Neuwirth. She is a actress that can be in everything as every character.

SEAWEED J. STUBBS-Maybelle's son, a skilled dancer who teaches Tracy some dance moves and falls in love with her friend, Penny.

Tyler James Willams. He is Chris on Everybody Hates Chris.

LINK LARKIN-Amber's boyfriend and the lead male dancer on The Corny Collins Show. Link is a singer who becomes more attracted to Tracy.

Taylor Lautner. Hes the teen heartrob and that kind of actor needs to be played be that kind of role.

AMBER VON TUSSLE-Velma's bratty daughter and the lead female dancer on The Corny Collins Show. Amber becomes Tracy's enemy when Tracy threatens both Amber's chances of winning the "Miss Teenage Hairspray" crown and Amber's relationship with her boyfriend, Link.

Dianna Agron. Yes, Quinn on Glee.

MOTOURMOUTH MAYBELLE-a Baltimore Rhythm and Blues radio disc jockey who hosts "Negro Day" on The Corny Collins Show. Maybelle also runs a record shop on North Avenue.

Wanda Sykes. She can be funny and serious in the same role.

CORNY COLLINS-host of The Corny Collins Show, Corny's politically progressive attitudes lead him to fight his show's imposed segregation

Ryan Seacrest. He can sing and dance and be good-looking

PENNY PINGLETON-Tracy's best friend, a sheltered girl who falls in love with Seaweed, despite the efforts of her racist and stern mother

Miranda Cosgrove. I don't know alot about Disney actrors but I think she could do it.

WILBUR TURNBLAD-Tracys crazy and wierd dad that owns a joke shop.

Billy Crystal. He skinny and really funny. It was him or Dustin Hoffman and Crystal is more of the musical type to me.

VELMA VON TUSSLE- Manager of station WYZT, the racist, former beauty queen Velma is interested in keeping her daughter Amber in the spotlight and The Corny Collins Show segregated.

Jennifer Garner. Jennifer got the role because Michelle Pfeiffer was Velma in the 2007 adaption.

EDNA TURNBLAD-Tracy's mother and agent, an agoraphobe ashamed of her obesity. Role meant for a man in drag.

John Goodman. You all saw it comming, A fat laundry woman in a musical. The only man for the role.

TRACY TURNBLAD-An optimistic, overweight teenage girl who loves dancing, Tracy's racial color-blindness leads her to become an active supporter for the integration of The Corny Collins Show.

Ashley Fink. Lauren on Glee. She can sing, dance and carry the show, so whats the difference with a film.

Hairspray......
