Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

(re-posting as suggested from Secret 9)

Two characters does not a Princess Bride remake...make. The original cast was incredibly perfect; you still have a long ways to go.

So (from Secret 9) you've got Inigo and Fezzik. You still need:

Vizzini
Westley
Buttercup
Prince Humperdinck
The Very Impressive Clergyman
Miracle Max
Miracle Max's wife (Valerie)
The 6-Fingered Man
Grandfather
Grandson

What is the rest of your dream cast, OP and others? If you could recast it with actors currently working?

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

(re-posted my dream cast as well)

I'm thinking:

Vizzini - Steve Buscemi
Westley - Chris Pine or Garrett Hedlund
Buttercup - Blake Lively
Prince Humperdinck - Mark Ruffalo
The Very Impressive Clergyman - Gene Wilder
Miracle Max - Mark Strong
Miracle Max's wife (Valerie)- Lisa Kudrow
The 6-Fingered Man - Eric Bana
Grandfather - Bryan Cranston
Grandson - Ethan Cutkosky

(bonus) The Albino - Brendan Gleeson

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

Oh, Wilder would have a ball with that role! Good call.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Wouldn't he?!

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[silverr]

!!! I was thinking Buscemi for Vizzini as well!

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

He's the only one I can really picture doing it.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

If we are sticking to actors currently working, isn't Wilder now officially retired?

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

When asked in a 2013 Time Out New York magazine interview whether he would act again if a suitable film project came his way, Wilder responded, "I’m tired of watching the bombing, shooting, killing, swearing and 3-D. I get 52 movies a year sent to me, and maybe there are three good [ones]. That’s why I went into writing. It’s not that I wouldn’t act again. I’d say, 'Give me the script. If it’s something wonderful, I’ll do it.' But I don’t get anything like that."

Very Impressive Clergyman is totally worth coming out of retirement for.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[skippydelicious]

Personally I think that is reaching a bit, but what the hell. It is fantasy casting I guess.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, stop being such a sourpuss and put forth your own cast! I personally give you permission to cast anyone, including dead actors.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Miracle Max = Michael Sheen
Miracle Max's Wife = Tina Fey
Prince Humperdinck = Jon Hamm

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Tina Fey would be AWESOME as Valerie. I'm with you on Jon Hamm, too. I've never seen Michael Sheen in anything, so can't comment there.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, you've seen Michael Sheen. You just didn't realize it was him because he is that awesome. For example, he was Wesley Snipe in 30 Rock, Castor in Tron: Legacy, The Twilight series as Aro and the only reason to see those films, Lucian in the Underworld films. He can do comedy, drama, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, film, television, voice acting. He is the ultimate character actor.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Hmm, okay, I've seen Tron: Legacy. Will have to look up who Castor was.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Castor is the one character that stole the movie.

Vizzini: Lets be cliché here, it has to be Armin Shimerman.
Westley: Shawn Ashmore.
Buttercup: Emma Watson (yeah, I know but still).
Prince Humperdinck: Elijah Wood.
The Very Impressive Clergyman: Go for a completely different approach, but Eddie Murphy (or possibly Stephen Colbert).
Miracle Max: Dara O'Brien.
Miracle Max's wife (Valerie): Dawn French.
The 6-Fingered Man: Steven Hartley.
Grandfather: Alan Rickman -because every movie needs Alan Rickman, dammit!
Grandson: First child actor to turn up for the audition, because who cares.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Hahaha, I could actually see Eddie Murphy being a really great over-the-top Clergyman.

And YES to Dawn French as Valerie.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, for the overtly comic roles (Clergyman, Max, etc) go for something different from the original. Nothing worse than a current comedian doing an impression of an old comedian's material. Its tacky.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

The Albino: Hugh Grant. But still playing the character as a typical Hugh Grant character, all self-effacing deferentialism and absent-mindedness.

This is what I came up with

[(Anonymous)]

Vizzini – Simon Pegg
Westley - Daniel Radcliffe
Buttercup – Keke Palmer
Prince Humperdinck - Timothy Omundson
The Very Impressive Clergyman - Andy Serkis
Miracle Max – Seth Green
Miracle Max's wife (Valerie)- Melissa Rauch
The 6-Fingered Man – Fred Savage
Grandfather - Tim Allen
Grandson - Landon Gimenez

Re: This is what I came up with

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I love the twist of bringing Fred Savage back as the 6-Fingered Man!

Re: This is what I came up with

[(Anonymous)]

We must respect the past.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Fire swamp segment to be directed by Michael Bay (the explosions and cgi rous..!) and attack on the castle with the holocaust cloak to be directed by JJ Abrams for a lens-flare overkill fire-cloak effect.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

We're missing the key role here. The woman who shouts "boo" in the crowd during Buttercup's dream sequence. I think that should be played by Jon Stewart in drag.

Re: Princess Bride Dream Cast

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man, you're right. She is epic. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
