Casting A Christmas Carol
 

Bill and I just finished watching the George C Scott version of A Christmas Carol (my absolute favorite version), and we got to talking about who we would cast in a new version.

This is who we have so far:

Scrooge: Anthony Hopkins
Bob Cratchet: Ralph Fiennes
Mrs Cratchet: Cate Blanchett
Ghost of Christmas Past: Judi Dench
Ghost of Christmas present: Gerard Butler
Fred (the Nephew): Orlando Bloom
Nephew's Wife: Kate Winslet

Who would you like to see?

The George C Scott version is my favorite. But now I need to hunt down the musical version starring Kelsey Grammar. Caught a few pieces of it on YouTube and it looks great. He makes a good Scrooge!

In a way, I can picture Judi Dench playing Scrooge, too. She as a female Scrooge would be kind of fun to watch.
:)

I'm partial to a Muppet Christmas Carol. OK, not. I hate it but am forced to endure it every year.

Susan loves it.

But then, she also like Pirate Movie, Xanadu, and Grease 2.

I just watched Grease 2 the other night. I love all of those movies.

:sigh:


Am I the only one who keeps reading the thread title and thinking that we are casting a Christmas Carol much like one might cast a spell?
