Unfortunately, I have to say, this is not a very hard movie to re-cast(As in, the characters may have their ups & downs, but, they are pretty straight forward.), but, I do have to say, that unless you can find another, like Tim Curry(The reason I brought his name up, is because, he is VERY unique, in his own way, since nobody can truly be like him.), or even Meatloaf(He also has his own unique ways, as well.), let alone several others from the movie, too many will look at it, as if it were hacked & sacked, which, in my own opinion, would just be a total destruction of the original, and yes, Jack Black is somewhat similar to Meatloaf, but, what he does not have, that Meatloaf does, is, he knows his place, Meatloaf knows when and how to portray his comedic side, and his dramatic side, and etc, so, where Jack Black is more of a comedic guy, where he, along with so many others on your list, would try to make it, so they are the center of attention, where, the old cast, did not try to play that game, like they do, now-a-days, so, unless they put some sort of restriction on a lot, and I mean A LOT of the so-called actors/actresses, then for now, it would just be defiled, with so much corruption, it would be pathetic, and bomb! Like I said, it is just my own opinion though.....
