The Wizard of Oz
Okay, I'll play.
The Wizard of Oz
Dakota Fanning ... Dorothy Gale
Christopher Walken ... Professor Marvel / The Gatekeeper / The Carriage Driver / The Guard Who Cries / The Wizard of Oz
Ed Norton ... Hunk / The Scarecrow
Mickey Rourke ... Zeke / The Cowardly Lion
Nathan Fillion ... Hickory / The Tin Man
Beyonce ... Glinda, the Good Witch
Helena Bonham-Carter ... Elmira Gulch / The Wicked Witch of the West / The Wicked Witch of the East
The obvious question will be whether some of these guys will be able to pull off the singing and dancing. I don't see why not. Actors have been trained for some pretty incredible things for films, and many actors do already have song and dance backgrounds.
I'm not 100% satisfied with my decisions, so I'm open to suggestions. I think this is a good start, however.
