Ho Ho Ho! Go and have another chat with the Coven! You really do have an exceptionally high opinion of yourself! - Perhaps delusions of 'Adequacy?'

As for bad casting I would have to say Steve Martin in the re-make of the Pink Panther.Shocking.

Never watched it and never would.
This is one of the sacred films that should never be re-made.

Seriously,do you really need to ask that?

Probably for the same reason you wont watch the remakes of The Italian Job and Alfie!

Like I said,there are certain sacred films that shouldnt be messed with.

Because he is the second unfunniest man in history (after Bill Cosby) and it will be appalling................

Sellers was a Genius! - However, most here do not know who Tommy Steele is! What can you expect?

They weren't arguing.

Also, an actor can be a arse, but still a good choice for a role.

He wasnt actually cast but its known that Will Smith was original meant to play the role of 'Neo' in the matrix. Obviously the role went to Keanu Reeves

The more i think it i just cannot think why Will Smith would work in that role. He has even said that Keanu Reeves makes that movie and it wouldnt of been so successful if he had played the part

Also Tom Cruise as reacher!! Agreed thats one of the worst castings ive ever heard. Is this confirmed??? The best bit is imaging Tom Cruise as an ex marine haha
