The Disappearance of Alice Creed (1987)

Vic: Bob Hoskins

Danny: David Thewlis

Alice Creed: Helena Bonham-Carter

Am I doing bad work on my recasts?

Sometimes I find that I haven't seen a lot of the films or I just don't know the actors, so it's difficult to comment that often and give a knowledgeable response.

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (2008)

Elliott: Asa Butterfield

Michael: Ansel Elgort

Gertie: Isabella Acres

Mary: Vera Farmiga

Keys: John Slattery

Girl who Elliott kisses in class: Chloe Grace Moretz

E.T. (Voice): Andy Serkis

Vera Farmiga gets my vote on any pretext.

The reason why I asked is because I was kicked off CHUD a few days ago because I was accused of being a troll. I was innocent.

CHUD?

It's an acronym for Cinematic Happenings Under Development.

Never heard of it. What did you do that got you accused of being a troll?

I got into an argument with someone who dislikes recasts, who had insulted the ones I had made. He convinced several others to gang up on me (which, on the site, is illegal), accused me of being a troll, and I was kicked out by a moderator, without being able to defend myself.

Ugh, that's awful. You won't get banned here for stuff like that. Think i've only seen one user banned in my time here and that was for being awful.

So what do you think of my recasts, Camo?

Heat.

Hanna - Christian Bale
McCaughley - Tom Hardy

Controversial I know selecting British actors for these roles but imagine Bale's manic performance as Hanna (originally played by Al Pacino). I'm thinking something like his American Psycho shouting 'DON'T WASTE MY M********KING TIME!'. Then picture Tom Hardy as the brooding, calculating bank robber McCaughley (originally played by Robert DeNiro). The café scene would be fantastic;

Bale: So you didn't want no regular type life?
Hardy: What's that? Barbecues and ball-games?

Could be pretty cool...

You know, I say that Daniel Day-Lewis would be a good Kylo Ren in the late 80s.

John Cusack popped into my head for some reason – maybe it's because of the comedic flair of Driver.

Kylo Ren's slashing up of computer equipment reminded me of Bad Cop's chair-throwing in The Lego Movie.

I'm not too familiar with John Cusack, other than Grosse Pointe Blank and Con Air.
