Interesting choices. I think I agree as well, but I'd like to see Keifer Sutherland as Attila, just to see how he interprets the character.

Kind of like a Doctor Who effect.

Very interesting choices , I must say. De Niro's and Depardieu's roles made me smile for some reason!
Benedict Cumberbatch could nail the role (like Sutherland did) indeed!
