Oh I like these choices . I can picture Jessica Chastain very easily in that role. Not as easy for me to picture Rebecca Hall as Eady but I think she'd surprise me; she's very clever.



This is brilliant . I mean who else could it be!?

McConaughey seems a little old for the Kilmer role. I'd go JGL.

Who plays Danny Trejo?

The Untouchables

Chris Evans - Eliot Ness



Elijah Wood - Oscar Wallace



Vincent Piazza - George Stone



Barry Pepper - Frank Nitti



with Liam Neeson as Malone



and Christian Bale as Al Capone

I was going to go with JGL as Kilmer but I just didn’t feel like it.

For Trejo... Ritchie Coster?

Jurassic Park remake, with the plot closer to the book, and based as a horror film rather than an adventure movie.

Dr Marty Gutierrez: American biologist who lives in Costa Rica. He plays an expository role in both novels. In the first novel, he identifies an unknown lizard that attacks a little girl as Basiliscus Amoratus.
Jordi Mollà

---
Dr Lewis Dodgson: Biosyn Corporation, antagonist and industrial thief who recruits Nedry as a saboteur. Would be more a cameo appearance.
John C McGinley

---
Dennis Nedry: In the novel, he is described as an obese and messy computer scientist. Nedry works for Hammond as the system's programmer and is in charge of networking Jurassic Park's computers. Although he was not given any details about InGen's operation, Nedry was expected to fix numerous bugs and issues without understanding the ultimate goal. After InGen blackmails him to make changes to the system without further payment, he makes a deal with Dodgson of Biosyn to steal several dinosaur embryos for $1.5 million, and is provided an embryo transfer device disguised as a shaving cream container.
Oliver Platt

---
Donald Gennaro: The attorney sent on behalf of Jurassic Park's investors to investigate the safety of the park after several reports of missing or dead workers. In the novel he is described as a short, muscular man and represents an "everyman" personality among the characters.
Giancarlo Giannini

---
Dr Henry Wu: Jurassic Park’s biotechnologist, and chief geneticist in Jurassic Park and head of the team that created the dinosaurs. He is a former child prodigy, gaining early attention for his undergraduate thesis at MIT, and was personally recruited by Hammond after finishing his doctorate. Although he is the instrumental figure behind the procedures used to bring the dinosaurs to life, he demonstrates little concern for the animals, to the extent that he is unable to even remember exactly what species he has created.
Tzi Ma

---
Dr Ian Malcolm: He makes several predictions based on chaos theory about the consequences and ultimate failure of attempting to control nature, which often turn out to be correct. During his time on the island, Malcolm is seriously injured during the initial tyrannosaur attack. He survives and is brought back to the visitor's centre, and spends the remainder of the novel bedridden, usually under the influence of high doses of morphine, continuing to comment on the Park's inherent flaws and impending collapse.
Adrien Brody

---
Ed Regis: Jurassic Park's Head of PR who is often given odd jobs by Hammond that are outside his area of expertise, such as escorting a wounded worker to a Costa Rican hospital, and acting as a babysitter for Lex and Tim during their visit to the park. Despite being overconfident about the park and almost negligent about the accidents that have been occurring, fear quickly overtakes him as things begin to go wrong, since he has seen the brutality of dinosaur attacks previously. When the Tyrannosaurus breaks free of its pen, he abandons the tour vehicle, leaving Tim and Lex behind.
Tobin Bell

---
Robert Muldoon: Jurassic Park's game warden. Described in the novel as a burly man, with a steel grey moustache, he is a former wildlife hunter who worked with Hammond at one of his previous parks in Kenya. He has experience working with dangerous predators and thus unlike most other characters, his attitude toward the dinosaurs is realistic and unromantic. He believes that the Velociraptors should be destroyed, describing them as smart and potentially dangerous.
Sam Elliott

---
John Arnold: (Ray Arnold in the 1993 film): Jurassic Park's chief engineer, running the main control centre from the visitor's centre. He is described as a thin, chain-smoking man, and a chronic worrier. A gifted systems engineer, Arnold had designed weapons for the U.S. military, and later worked at several theme parks and zoos before joining the Jurassic Park team.
Don Cheadle

---
Dr Harding: Jurassic Park's chief veterinarian. In the novel, he had been the chief of veterinary medicine for the San Diego Zoo, and was the world's leading expert on avian care. He accepted the job at Jurassic Park because he wanted to become famous for being the first person to write a textbook on the care of dinosaurs. When the group first encounters him, he is looking after a sick Stegosaurus. With the help of Ellie Sattler, he finds the source of the animal's sickness and is able to treat it. Being the only doctor on the island, he is the one who treats Malcolm after he is attacked by the Tyrannosaurus.
Forest Whitaker

---
Dr Ellie Sattler: She accompanies Dr Grant on the tour of InGen's dinosaur preserve. Although she is initially thrilled to tour the park, she finds poisonous plants in public areas and near swimming pools, and is angered by how little attention the staff has given to reproducing prehistoric plant life. While the rest of the group tours the park by Land Cruiser, she stays with Dr Harding, the park vet, to help diagnose a sick Stegosaurus.
Haley Bennett

---
Lex Murphy: Described in the book as around 8 years old. Lex is shown to have the traits of a stereotypical child that whines and complains. Her selfish and childish behavior often annoys the people around her and puts her and the group in danger. Her attitude is similar to her Grandfather John Hammond.
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons

---
Tim Murphy: Described in the book as aged 11. A bespectacled boy who has an interest in dinosaurs and computers. His quick thinking and encyclopaedic knowledge of dinosaurs aid the group several times, and Tim is instrumental in discovering that dinosaurs have escaped the island, as well as regaining the means to warn the mainland in time.
Jack Dylan Grazer

---
John Hammond: Described by Crichton as “The dark side of Walt Disney”. He is portrayed as a cold, eccentric CEO interested only in making a profit and succeeding in creating dinosaurs. When explaining to Dr Wu why he chose to spend his money on an amusement park rather than helping mankind, Hammond said, "That's a terrible idea. A very poor use of new technology... helping mankind is a very risky business. Personally, I would never help mankind”.
Ian Holm

---
Dr Alan Grant: Lead protagonist, described in the book as a barrel-chested bearded man who is good with kids, especially those interested in dinosaurs. He is invited by John Hammond, the eccentric billionaire and creator of Jurassic Park, to take a tour of the park and endorse it so his investors will be more confident. Finding it hard to turn down a request from a major financial donor, Grant agrees, unaware that Hammond has managed to clone real dinosaurs. When the creatures escape, Grant becomes stranded in the park with Hammond's grandchildren. Throughout a large portion of the book, Dr Grant and the two children explore the park trying to find their way back to the rest of the group. In the film, much of this period is omitted, with only a few key events occurring onscreen.
Mark Ruffalo

Not really my favourite film, but the scissoring scene from The Handmaiden with 40s Setsuko Hara and 90s Li Gong would be the best thing in my life. Though it's already pretty great with the actual actresses.
