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.

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: RMS TITANIC

                               

Yes. Titanic is an epic movie back in 1997. i know, its an newer movie for a remake, but this is my imagination for it, if you dont like it, don't read it.

Everyone knows the plot: a first class woman falls in love with a third class man while on the ships only voyage. Her maiden voyage with very very wealthy people.

****note: all the character based on real-life people will have their picture by the aactor************

So heres a go at TITANIC:

The real people onboard::::::::::::::::

BENJAMIN GUGGENHEIM-an American self-made billionaire that dies onboard in the grand staircase.
  
Rick Rossovich. An unknown actor that is kind of talented.


COLONEL ARCHIBALD GRACIE-an American colonel and rich billionaire. He is friends with Cal.
   
Alan Ruck. The man can do dramas too.

COLONEL JOHN JACOB ASTOR IV-The richest man on the ship. A very kind man that when the ship was sinking he gave up his life boat seat for a third class laundry woman and her 3 children. Hes my hero.
      
Thomas Gibson.Hes one of my favorites.

J. BRUCE ISMAY-The president and owner of the RMS TITANIC. He sneaks aboard a lifeboat when the ship is sinking. Nobody was around and all the women and men close were on board. I would have got on the lifeboat too, so no critizm from me.
  
Charles Shaunghessy. Can't you see him with a mustache.

THOMAS ANDREWS-the shipbuilder of Titanic, his body was never found and unknown how he died.
 
Hugh Bonneville.There is a very similar resemblense to the two men.

CAPTAIN EDWARD JOHN SMITH-The Captain of the RMS TITANIC. His body was never found either. A kind old wise man.
 
Brian Cox. I think he could do it, if he had a beard and everything.

MOLLY BROWN-The Unsinkable Molly Brown that takes Jack under her wing alittle and saves all the women that called her "vulgar" and "new money" when the ship sinks.
  
Melissa McCarthy. I like her, shes big and seems right for the role.

The fictional people:::::::::::::::::

FABRIZIO-Jacks Itailan companion. He is young and good-looking and is crushed to death by one of the funnels.

Enzo Cilenti.

LIZ CALBERTT-Roses 40 year old granddaughter. She takes care of Rose at 100

Brooke Smith. You know, the damsall-in-distress in Silence of the Lambs

SPICER LOVEJOY-Cals cold-hearted and ruthless butler/bodygaurd/fatherly figure kind of guy. He dies when the ship breaks and falls into one of the sharp metal things holding the ship together.

Jason Isaacs.He is totally ruthless and cold-hearted in the Harry Potter films.


OLD ROSE CALBERT-A 100 year old lady that was on the TITANIC and is telling her story.

Anne Rutherford. I've never seen her in a film. Shes supposed to be good, but I dont know.

BROCK LOVETT-A middle-aged man in search for the TITANIC and its story that gets Rose to tell him her story.

Josh Brolin. I like him so I put him in these kind of roles.

RUTH DEWITT-BUKATAR-Roses iron hard mother that puts her footdown about Jack.

Marcia Cross.Shes tall, red-haired, beautiful and a great actress.

CAL HOCKLEY-A rich oil tycoon that is the fiancee to Rose. He beats her and is a coward when the ship sinks.

Chris Evans.

ROSE DEWITT-BUKATAR-DAWSON-A pretty, well-to-do woman that is 17ish and has a thing for a 3rd class man.

Emma Watson.She great as a actress. This role needs to be played by a great actress

JACK DAWSON-A 3rd class man that falls in love with a 1rst class woman. Hes also an adventurer

Zac Efron.Efron just calls Jack out to me for some reason

There is my cast for the RMS TITANIC
