    Default The Things They Left Behind

    Hi,

    I was just over in Lilja's Library and apparently The Things They Left Behind, from Just After Sunset, has been optioned by Chris Columbus's 1492 Pictures.

    It could make an excellent movie IMO, any thoughts on casting?

    Needs a great male lead actor, I think.

    Kevin Spacey maybe?

    Long days and pleasant nights

    Spacey would be a good choice.

    The entire time I was reading this story I was picturing Hugh Jackman as Scott Staley. Now maybe because he is one of my favorites, but he can definately hold his own movie.
    As for Paula Robeson, I pictured a blonde, Scarlette Johannson? Maybe too young for the role, and too much age difference between the two.

    Hi,

    I like your suggestions, Born in Sin.

    Hugh Jackman (who I'd like to see as Roland) and Scarlett Johannson (great as June Carter in I Walk the Line, I thought) would be excellent IMO.

    That was Reese Witherspoon as June Carter.

    I like Hugh Jackman but not sure if I like him in that role. You can see it becoming a real good movie with the right casting.

    Ah now Reese Witherspoon is a good actress, I can imagine her as Paula.

    I would like to see Ryan Reynolds as Scott...not only because he is my crush at the moment but IMO he is a very talented actor, which is often overlooked. Hey, if they had him and Scarlett Johannson that would be a real life husband and wife team..very cute.

    I can see Edward Norton in this role. Very talented actor IMHO.

    For some reason Cusack sprang to mind at this question, probably because I liked him so much in 1408.
