I could actually see any of those actors mentioned in those roles.

Few of them that I didn't knew names - I looked them up and I know faces.

I wonder what happened to Linda Fiorentino. I completely forgot about her existence. She was good in Men in Black. She basically stopped acting in 2002. Did one movie in 2009 and retired.

Out of those, I would've liked to see Courteney Cox play Lois, as her playing Gail in Scream would've been perfect foreshadowing and we know she looks good with red hair, and Loren Dean play Jimmy.
