If it were a movie I think Rachel McAdams should be "Lum". As for the rest, I really don't know. But, I REALLY don't agree with your choice of actors/actresses.

Is there any of them you like (i.e. Evan Rachel Wood as Ran)?

Uno demerito por ese suggeccion. (Sorry, my Spanish is a bit rusty right now.)
In any case, Americanizing and casting Western actors for an anime are two different things.

That's not any different.

If I can mix Code Lyoko, Anime, Freddy, Jason, Alien, Predator, Marvel and DC together.

Bad casting choices, and a TV-P UY produced by the likes of Disney would be too much horror for my brain to endure.

Emma Watson??? lol How about Elisabeth Harnois?
Lots better production companies to take the helm than Disney too...How about Tim Burton giving a adaptation?
