Live action film
I don't know if anything is coming up about it, but who would you cast for a live-action movie, no budget restrictions?
I know it's a little cheesy, but I think Christian Bale would be a pretty accurate Roger Smith if he lost some muscle, though I'd have to see him work his charm a little more. Plus, the whole batman thing kind of lends itself.
Gordon Rosewater seems like someone Jack Nicholson would play, but I could also see Robin Williams doing it with a deeper, more demanding voice.
Dorthy. Hmmm. Dorthy, Dorthy, Dorthy. That's a little tough, but, and please don't kill me for all the mainstream names, but Drew Barrymore seems to match her physically and in voice. She'd have to have a dramatic change in her acting style entirely, but it could be a good portrayal if she could pull it off.
Perhaps only because there are very few actors and actresses flowing in my head right now, but after seeing him on X-files, I really think that Bruce Campbell could work Schwartzwald. Mostly because of his voice and admiration of him, but I could really see him as such a troubled, political character. Also, I wanna see him shouting and making crazy statements like conspiracy theorist (it's the American Dream).
