Bummer. I hadn't noticed the friendslock. It started with wanderyng1's complaint that with Tim Burton slated to direct the next adaptation, we could probably expect either Depp or Helena Bonham Carter to be cast as Alice.

You know, I think that would work pretty well. We need to find a good White Rabbit.

Vincent Donofrio as the White Rabbit
Steve Buscemi as the Hatter

Could Donofrio pull off the hurried hare routine?

Buscemi as the Hatter is pretty solid.

Donofrio is terrifying when he's frenetic. Put that dude in a dingy bunny suit and you have nightmare fuel for years.

Buscemi did the Hatter on an old SNL. I still smile.

Still? You've said as much before?

Still - I'll say it even though I don't really know shit about what I'm talking about. :)

Awesome. I admire that kind of pluck.

Ooooh, that's precious.
Though, I kind of see him more as the King - bumbling around - being very Mr. Bean about the whole thing.

I see him in more the Elizabethan Black Adder role. I think he's been far too pigeonholed by Mr. Bean which was truly not his best work.

But put him in a dress and give him Baldrick as the king and really, it would be rather priceless.

That's fair. I was just trying to give due credit is all.

Murray's a perfect Mock Turtle, and though this incarnation of Blanchett would hurt my head a little, the idea fits with the production I'm envisioning.

I kind of want Steve Coogan for the March Hare. I've still no ideas on the Cheshire Cat or Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.

	From: beatnikside	Date: December 12th, 2007 05:42 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee should be Roberto Benigni and Sasha Baron Cohen. Or GZA and RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. Or Jack and Meg from the White Stripes.

And even though it's not Carroll, Gary Farmer should show up at some point, glare at the White Rabbit, and say, "You stupid fucking white rabbit."

Jarmusch should have the freedom to take some artistic license....

	From: komos	Date: December 12th, 2007 03:21 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I kind of want Gary Farmer in that role.

	From: faux_eonix	Date: December 12th, 2007 03:30 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I loved him in Dead Man.

You want the wise Indian thing for that role, don't you?

	From: komos	Date: December 12th, 2007 03:40 pm (UTC)		(Link)

No, I want the straight man who can work absurdity for that role.
