I just want to chime in and say that George Clooney as Hannibal and Ving Rhames as BA are inspired… No idea who for Face & Murdock yet, although maybe Jim Carrey or Dax Shepard for Murdock might work. Luke Wilson as Face perhaps? ---

[/QUOTE] I’m not saying he’s on calibre with John Barrymore, but for the parts he plays, he’s very good. Picture someone else in his parts and they are completely different films. We’re allowed to disagree on this matter. 😉 ---

Any real reason as to why Mr. T can’t reprise his role? Anyone who has seen his recent Snickers commercials will attest; the man’s still got it. ---
