So far, the only character I have a role in my mind for is Big Jim. I think Richard Kind would do a fine job as Rennie both visually and characteristically.

I've only thought of a few, some other great suggestions here too:

Big Jim- has to be John Goodman
Andy Sanders- William H Macey (brilliant)
Barbie- Josh Holloway
Julia Shumway- Tina Fey
Junior Rennie- Ezra Miller
Rusty- Aaron Douglas

Ben foster would have been perfect 10 years ago no doubt. I get why you picked him but he's like 35 now.

An off the Wall for big Jim could be Brendan Gleeson

[Chris1974100]

nice how about Bruce Willis as Dale Barbara

[Lance]

I would have loved to see John Goodman as Big Jim 10 years ago, I just think he's a little too old now. How about Mark Addy.

This is really fun to imagine. Every time I read a King book I picture the main character (Barbie) looking like King. Of course he's getting to old to look like Barbie now. Besides, Steven King isn't an actor. Haha! I kept imagining Jackie as looking like and acting like Susan Sarandon. I pictured the Sammy Bushey character as being blonde. I thought of a good actor for Big Jim, Brendan Gleeson. Twitch and Rose should be black. Junior should be blonde and good looking. I really like some of the suggestions here though. I think the story would have more impact if there weren't any big stars in it.
