Has anyone seen the movie HEAVY? the main actor in that... Pruitt Taylor Vince (who also co-starred in S1M0NE, and Big Trouble) is who i imagine filling that role.. big man!

Jared Leto as Oyster and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Mona is a good call.

Carl - Woody Harrelson (for lack of someone better), John Cusack
Helen - Annette Benning, Mary McDonnal (sp?)
Oyster - Jared Leto, Brad Pitt
Mona - Maggie Gyllenhaal, Anna Paquin

You know... The idea of John Cusack as Carl is so oddly enticing, I wish it were in the works. It would be alot darker than anything he's done, but you can tell that he's been hinting at that type of acting in alot of his roles.

And, of course, John Cusack is the underground god.

Which helps.

That would be the only downside. He's 37, and that [I]could[/I] get stretched out further, but it'd probably be too much trouble for them to care about it. And for that reason, he will remain my number 1 pick.

I'm gonna mostly agree...

Carl: Mel Gibson

Helen: Kidman, Benning, maybe Sarandon.

Oyster: Jared Leto seems good. Perhaps Hayden Christianson or some guy like him. Maybe one of those gay gentlemen from Rules of Attraction.

Sarge: Big Pussy from the Sopranos

I think Mona really has to be relatively small and quite young.

Mona: Ana Paquin is probably best, maybe Cristina Ricci.

How do you think its possible for Jack Black to play a serious role? That would be so hard to imagine.

how about Sagnetti from Natural Born Killers. I can't think of that guys name, tho he's been in tons of films. I think I thought of him when I was reading it because(this is sad but) he played an paramedic in Bringing out the Dead. What is that guys name?? I think he'd make a perfect nash.

mel gibson, he's just a dummmy.

yeah, I know but he sells movie tickets.

Funny thing about Tom. I read in the paper today that he allegedly "punched a girl in the face" If convicted, which he won't be, he could spend a year in jail. They probably won't start production on a Lullaby film for a little while anyways, right??

man i love the idea of Brad Pitt as Oyster, especially with the big shaggy beard he seems to be exhbiting nowadays.

Carl-Jack Nicholson might be fun
Helen-I like the Goldie Hawn idea
Mona-Maggie Gylenhall sounds good
Oyster-Brad Pitt
Sarge-i have no idea, he had a kind of small part in the book
Nash-I agree with the Jack Black idea of serious and not goofy

Brad shaved the beard some months ago after quitting the project he was growing it for ("The Fountain", I believe)

And then there's the fact that Brad is 39 (40 in a few months), and I've always seen Oyster as the young, verile type o' guy.

He would get all the attention of the movie, even though Oyster's
just a supporting character. It always happens whenever Brad
plays a minor role.

Hmm. I say, with deep thought,

John Cusack in lead.

Then Philip Seymour Hoffman as Nash (He's both 'large', and an EXCELLENT actor.)

Jared Leto for Oyster (He's 30, but he's still got the freakishly good looking thing going on, which is a definite pre-requisite for Oyster's role)

as far as the women go, I really can't say.

Mona, I'm going for Anna Paquin, or Mena Suvari. I've never really liked Mena Suvari, but she's got more of a thin look going on, and I don't see Mona as being rounded...

Helen, I'm completely up in the air. I hate to go out on a limb, but what about Catherine Zeta Jones? She's a good actor, older but still elegant looking, and she and John could pull off chemistry (cough High Fidelity cough)

And that's enough thinking for now.

Yeah Hoffman has played crazy shit like that, Red Dragon he was a pretty bad guy. He does have that disgusting look about him if that's what he highlights, but i still dont think he's really strong enough looking for nash.

Ana Paquin really has to be Mona, that's just so on the money especially if you've seen 25th hour..... another movie where Hoffman was something of a sexual pervert.

Someone said Tom Sizemore for Nash right? That sounds good, it may be nice if they can make him look taller though. I picture Nash tall like 6'3", and im not sure but i dont think sizemore is too tall.

And who's with me for Big Pussy as Sarge? He's a baked potato if i've ever seen one

But he's a good actor.

And that snarky guy who works at Flingers could play the guy Carl kills at the bar.

How great a cast would that be? For me?

No no. That's what he said in the movie. When she got angry at him for freaking out over sleeping with Lumburg (Same last name, but different guy which he didn't realize), and she got out of the car and slammed the door in his face, as the door was slamming, he yells "Well atleast I didn't sleep with Lumburg!"

Man, I know that movie way too intricately. And I also use that line way too much, considering it never makes any sense.
