Re-Do: The Movie Edition

[MickeyMouse10]

I’m going to base all of my future casting choices for the movies on the years the films came out. So the people playing the roles will be possibly younger at the time.

Beauty and the Beast (2017) was filled with just as many miscastings as the Little Mermaid. Plus I thought the choice of using CGI for the Beast was a horrible idea. I would have rather them use practical effects. It just looks more real and acceptable to the viewer. How bad would the Predator or Alien look without practical effects. Even the television show with Ron Perlman from the 80’s looks better than the Disney Live Action version.

Also choosing Emma Watson was a colossal mistake for Belle. She can’t act or sing, so what is the reason she was picked? Probably because of her role in another great story (Harry Potter). But casting her was a double edge sword from the start because she always be seen as Hermione, rather than Belle. Her only major role she’s ever had.

Hailee Steinfeld as Belle

Brock O’Hurn as The Beast

Henry Cavill as Gaston

Jordan Prentice as Lefou

Julie Walters as Mrs Potts

Richard Riehle as Maurice

David Suchet as Cogsworth
and Vincent Cassel as Lumiere

Hailee Steinfeld would have been great as Belle. Since Disney has always been vastly different versions than it's predecessors literary version. Unlike Watson she actually looks like she can be effective in the role.

A friend of mine on AverageJoeArtwork once suggested Neil Patrick Harris as Lumiere.

He'd be great for the musical numbers.

But I think Lumiere has to be French. He's the only one (other than Fifi the duster) that really comes off as very French.

Hailee Steinfeld is super hot, so I'm totally for her. I had a thing for Emma, but my bond with Hailee is stronger. hahaha

I'd like to see remake of Who Framed Roger Rabbit starring Athena Karkanis as main character to replace Eddie Valiant.

Noooooooo..... ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I have to disagree with that one buddy. That's way too out of the box for me. Jack Black or Josh Gad would probably be my choice.

Well Athena Karkanis could be Dolores, Josh Gad could be Eddie Valiant.

Hailee Steinfeld seems like a perfect fit, except for not being French. But Belle always felt more American to me than French. Same goes for other Disney characters like Rapunzel and Snow White, whose stories are German. They are mostly Americanized versions of the book versions. With a more family friendly story to boot.

Emma Watson always seemed like a bad fit. Sure she was born in France, but she's obviously known for being very English. And is only known for one character, which has been in many books and films. What's weird is I always thought she was a better actor when she was younger. With her, she was the opposite of wine and seemed to get worse with age.

 

[Frankenstein79]

I don't have a clue who that Brock guy is, but Henry Cavill would be perfect as Gaston.

 

[The Great Gonzo]

You can actually see Henry and Jordan Prentice in the roles. Unlike who they got for the original version. Talk about a major Gaff. All I hear is Olaf when I see that Josh Gad fella. .... And he's as tall as Gaston, what the doobie!

At least Disney had the sense to cancel Hunchback of Notre Dame. I remember thinking when I was a kid "Man this sucks!" If I wanted Broadway I'd go see the Phantom of the Opera.

 

[PrinceCharming617]

Yeah, I always thought it was weird to get Olaf to play Lefou.

Especially when he's almost the same height as Gaston. Lefou always seemed to me to be a little person or at least someone whose Danny Devitos height.

 

[PrinceCharming617]

Mrs. Weasley I like her too. I'd rather have Angela Lansbury, but she's alright dude.

The old guy looks so familiar, he must be a character actor. I'm thinking Office Space for some reason. I don't know if I'm off my rocker though.

 

[Rambozo]

Yep, that is him in Office Space, I like him for Maurice. You definitely have to go fat and pathetic with the character. And he can play both very well. .... No offense to him, if he's reading this though, lol.

I love Kevin Kline usually in movies, but he just didn't fit as Maurice. He is usually perfect as the wiseass, love interest in things. Maurice doesn't seem like it goes with anything else he's done. Yet another bad casting choice, that I'm sure Disney would like to take back.

 

[Snow Queen 83]

David Suchet is a splendid choice for Cogsworth. He always seems so proper and gentlemanly in his interviews.

Yeah, I'm a big, big Hercule Piorot fan so he immediately came to mind for Cogsworth. He's the only person that I could see in the role. After I thought of him, everyone else just didn't feel right.

Never seen him as Piorot, but I've seen Vincent Cassel. He's a perfect Lumiere, he's soooo.... French. lol. He was the best part in Ocean's 12. But unfortunately he doesn't do enough movies that I want to see.

 

[The Lochness Monsta]

Me dad got me into Masterpiece Theatre so I'm definitely a fan of the mysteries. Like Agatha Christies' Miss Marple and Piorot.

Everyone seems to fit the part more than who they chose. If they are going to do remakes they should try to be loyal to what came before them. At least this did try though, unlike the newer ones. I don't understand what Disney is thinking.

Yep, I don't understand why they are going away from their own sources. It seems like an easy task, you just look for good actors, who at least look somewhat like the characters.
