but who would be Jack and Ralph
I'm opting for Brad Pitt to be Jack.

Couldn't he be "The Beast" instead?
I've always thought his head would look good on a stick...

haha
Brad Pitt as a rotting airman. Yeah I can get behind that.

Who do you suggest then?

Well, if I remember rightly,
he needs to be someone quite objectionable and more prone to savagery than whoever plays Ralph. A person who's obviously been bought up to behave better - being the head choirboy and that - but who is all too ready to rebel against it and release the feral, deviant, violent character within...

Oh, sod it. Give the role to Eddie Murphy and we'll turn it into a crass blaxploitation flick.

And then we'll cast Bootsy Collins as Ralph
Bringing the kids to order not with a conch shell, but a horrifically self-indulgent slap bass solo.

Althought joking aside,
It would be quite nice to have Morgan Freeman as the voice of The Beast.

That or Christopher Lee.

Christopher Lee has one of the best voices of all time
he always gets the baddie roles
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 10 May 2010, 16:03, Reply)

Yes Christopher Lee would be good

This will shock you,
but I was being vulgar.

I know what spit-roasting is
I was asking who should be cast as the three obvious participants- Jack, Ralph, the Beast
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:19, Reply)

Jude Law has the face for the film, so has Dominic Cooper.
Frankly My dear -
most merkin film actors are just not up to it.
How would it play as an all female cast?

edit - no wait, Giovanni Ribisi could play either Jack or Ralph.
Now I'm interested.
Of course, I see it as a musical. Think of Mama Mia meets Preditor.
