I agree with those who mentioned Ryan Gosling as Jake/George. In my opinion, he's one of the best actors out there today.
As for Sadie, maybe someone like Jessica Chastain. (Loved her in "the Help") She is a redhead, but that could easily be changed for the role.
I think Rachel McAdams would be great too....although would be awkward for Ryan and Rachel.
I like the idea of Jim Parsons as Oswald. Would be interesting to see him in a dramatic role. I enjoy Jim on "Big Bang", he really carries that show.

Here's a funny idea for Oswald, what about Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad?

Wow, I didn't think of that at all. But after reading your reply she would be perfect!! Good job!!

What about Gary Oldman for George des Whats his name? He can do a Russian accent and he played Lee Harvey before. Too bad James Coburn is dead, he's who I was picturing when I read the book. (For the part of George.

Heh. Well Mr. President (I'm assuming here that the last post above was made the the sixteenth leader of the U.S. who starred in that Vampire movie) I wouldn't know about Oldman for any role in the film. It would be an irony if they did find role for him though, I admit that.
If by some weird chance Kev Costner lands the role of Jake, my only question to him would be "What are you going for some kind of trifecta here? What gives?"

I watched "Wrath Of The Titans" a couple of weeks ago, and thought this young lady might make a good Sadie. Her name is Roseamund Pike.

Joseph Gordon Levitt as Oswald, that is bang on! Rebeca Romijin is 5'11" and has been doing more and more work. I think Charlize would be great but then so would Alison Janie or Gena Davis. I think they all have the same problem fitting in this role. Great ideas!!
Re: Suggestions for the movie cast of 11/22/63...? [May contain spoilers]
Jake/George: Edward Norton
Bradley Cooper
Stephen Moyor
James Marsden
Al Templeton: Christopher Lee
Clint Eastwood
Gene Hackman
Lee H. Oswald: Ralph Fiennes
Ben Foster
Todd Lowe
Casey Affleck
Harry Dunning: Mads Mikkelsen
John Turturro
Frank Dunning: Matthew Fox
Sadie; Vera Farmiga
Just my opinion but I think this would be a great cast. These would be my picks in this order. I do like the prospect of Ryan Gosling but I think that Edward Norton would be more appropriate. Ralph Fiennes and Todd Lowe are a little older than I picture Oswald in the book, but I feel it would be manageable.
