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!!!!

casting- Chicago

                        

So, Chicago is a play from 2002. It is 10 years old now and I am re-casting it my way. That when I read the Broadway script I see the characters this way.

In the 1920s two very different women commit murder and share a lawyer

Presenting CHICAGO:::::::::::::::::::::::::::


JUDGE-an un-named judge in the Roxie trial. Good friends with Billy Flynn.'

David Ogden Stiers.I am a big MASH fan, and I think he would be a good judge


THE NARRATOR-a man that says the song titles.

Shemar Moore.He has a real deep-voice


FRED CASLEY-the victim. Has several affairs and children

Wes Bentley.


D.A. HARRISON-Chicagos DA, everyone scared of him. May run for governor in a few...

John Slattery


MARY SUNSHINE-a report with the Evening Star

Shelley Long. In the play she a man, but in this just a regular middle-class, middle-aged woman.

AMOS HART-Roxies husband, an idiot.

Will Ferrell. Im not big on Ferrell, but I think he could do the job right.

MAMA MORTON-Womens prison warden. Dont put up with crap.

Reba McIntire

BILLY FLYNN-a good-looking, middle-aged, rich, wonderful corrupt attorney that takes Velam and Roxies cases.

Alec Baldwin. I wanna see him sing "Razzle Dazzle Em"

VELMA KELLY-sn actress that kills her sister and husband.

Rachel McAdams. This was a tough call between her and Anne Hathaway. Hope I made the right choice.
