[QUOTE=Mosier] Mike Tyson really needs a role. [/QUOTE] He can be the guy that hires the A-Team to steal back the Heavyweight crown/belt/trophy (I know nothing of boxing) from the guys that keep taking it from him ---

[QUOTE=Little Nemo] And Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson as Murdoch and Face. [/QUOTE] I like the idea of Owen Wilson, but I think he’d be a better fit as Murdock. Murdock: Owen Wilson Face: Will Smith B.A.: Ving Rhames Hannibal: George Clooney [QUOTE=Wallenstein] and Christopher Walken as Col. Decker [/QUOTE] I’d go with Tommy Lee Jones. And, for a bit of fun, The SNL cast: Murdock: Andy Samberg or Chris Kattan Face: Will Ferrell B.A.: Tracy Morgan Hannibal: Steve Martin ---

[QUOTE=labtrash] Would Tommy Lee Jones work as Hannibal? [/QUOTE] Maybe. He seems a little too “angry” and his comedic style is very dry. Hannibal always seemed to be having a good time. ---

OK, so we’ve settled on one of my choices as “perfect”. So if in deed Singleton were to go with Clooney as Hannibal, I either want an “Additional Casting By” credit, or I want a role as an extra in the pic. I think “Innocent bystander gunned down by the bad guys for no apparent reason” would be the perfect role for me. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] Amy: Karen Whats-er-name [/QUOTE] Do you mean Karen Murayama? Or Kathy Greenwood? Ms. Greenwood is taller, slimmer, and Caucasian. I’d say that she has more of the Amy Allen look.
