Theater Re-Casting God of Carnage
Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 11:49 AM
Since this is a fantasy cast to begin with, what big-name subs should replace the original cast? ArtsBeat commenter Lisa makes a good pitch:
Veronica—Dianne Wiest, Frances McDormand; Alan—Donald Sutherland, John Lithgow, Ted Danson, Alec Baldwin; Annette—i like the idea of Holly Hunter. I also think Laura Linney could do a great job with this as well; Michael—Kind of stumped on this one. Tom Wilkinson, maybe? Or to follow the Gangster theme, Robert Deniro.
Aren't DeNiro and Wilkinson a little old for this sort of thing? What about Philip Seymour Hoffman? That would give him a chance to redeem himself after the Public's recent Othello. Anyone got other ideas?
