Originally cast with Catherine Zeta-Jones

That's not true. Baz always wanted Nicole Kidman for Satine. He sent her a card with the words "She sings. She dances. She dies" to secure her for the role.

Catherine Zeta Jones is much sexier than Nicole Kidman, and is a better singer. Okay, maybe not much of an actress, but she'd still be good casting.

Ewan MacGregor is perfect!
