Casablanca (2005)

Ever since I saw Casablanca on TMC last Sunday I have been thinking about how I would cast a remake. As breaktime fodder, a co-worker and I have been working the names of who we would see in the roles, here are our picks:

Role Actor 1942 Actor
Rick Blaine Hugh Jackman Humphrey Bogart
Ilsa Lund Laszlo Catherine Zeta-Jones Ingrid Bergman
Victor Laszlo James Caviezel Paul Henreid
Capt. Louis Renault Jude Law Claude Rains
Maj. Heinrich Strasser Neal McDonough Conrad Veidt
Signor Ferrari John Goodman Sydney Greenstreet
Guillermo Ugarte Colin Farrell Peter Lorre
Sam Laurance Fishborne Dooley Wilson
Carl David Keith S.Z. Sakall

We are thinking of forming a casting company, now we just need a snazzy name…
