Duma Key, The Movie...Who would you cast?

**scorpion22** · May 15th, 2008

Just finished Duma Key, and I loved it!

If/when they make Duma Key (the movie), who would you like to see in the cast?
Personally, I kept seeing Terry O'Quinn as Edgar & Jeff Bridges (ala The Big Lebowski) as Wireman.
What do you think?

Morgan Freeman as Edgar and Michael Caine as Wireman.

I can't come up with anyone decent for Edgar.
I like Jeff Bridges for Wireman.
Only other decent fit I can think of would be Rachel McAdams for Ilse.

Don't know Terry O'Quinn but Jeff Bridges would be perfect as Wireman.
Now Edgar, thats a hard one, will have to think more on that.
Hope others can come up with some good ones.

I really have no clue yet, and both characters really grab you, especially Wireman. I believe Wireman has to be the best character King has conjured up in quite awhile. Prank BTW, I'll keep on standing on my soap box until Hugh Laurie is cast as Roland, because he is Roland.

Tom Hanks as Edgar and that girl from Enchanted, Amy Adams, as his daughter who's name I can't remember right now. I like scorpion22's idea as Jeff Bridges for Wireman. And Marcia Gay Harden as Edgar's wife, and Michael Clark Duncan as the doctor.

De Niro as Edgar
Anthony Hopkins as Wireman
Ryan Gossling as Jack
MG Hayden as Edgars wife
Laura Linney as the older daughter
Rachel Mc Adams as Ilse

Prank, I agree. I could definitely see Hugh Laurie as Roland. Maybe even Mel Gibson?

I like the idea of Ryan Gosling as Jack, Marcia Gay Harden as Pam, and Rachel McAdams as Ilse. Also, what about James Earl Jones as Dr. Kamen? Uncle Stevie did say Dr. Kamen's voice was like Mr. Jones'.

i think an african american actor would make sense to play edgar as he is related to mother abegale,(the stand).james earl jones is definetly the right actor for kamen.
Itd be cool to see stephen king in the movie,maybe as Tom or Dario.
