What’s a perfect casting choice that never happened?

[TaupeFatball]

For example
Daniel radcliffe as James bond

Kate Winslet as Bridget Jones

Kevin Costner as Robert Langdon. I was so disappointed that it was Tom Hanks. I was expecting someone more rugged.

Ralph Fiennes as Captain Corelli

@DecidedlyUndecided ha, was just coming on To say exactly that!! Weirdly, was just thinking about this about 15 min ago, before I even saw this thread. Renee was about the worst person possible to play Bridget. I always thought it should have been Kate’s role.

This would be perfection.

Renee is sublime as Bridgett. Helen Fielding seems to be delighted with her too!

Always thought Richard E Grant would have made a good Snape. And Jenifer Lawrence as Belle in the remake of Beauty and the Beast not bloody Emma Watson.

No that would be amazing. He's too thin though.

Ewan McGregor as Richard in The Beach.

Exactly what I came on to say. Perfect casting, crappy decision not to give it to him.

Daniel Radcliffe as Bond? Are you fucking shitting me? My dog could do Bond, and frankly all DR’s parts better. DR has the acting range of a crisp packet.

I remember reading an interview with Cate Blanchett saying she was going to play Bridget Jones. She would have been AMAZING. I like Renee Zellweger but always thought she was a weird choice for Bridget. I loved that book so so much.

I think Chiwetel Ejiofor would have been a great Bond, but he's probably too old now.

good thing youre not in charge of casting, daniel radcliffe as bond? worst casting ever

I think this too every time I watch the films! She would have been perfect.

Crisp packet 😂😂

I’m seriously beginning to think OP is trolling with the Daniel Radcliffe suggestion

I’m still laughing at Daniel Radcliffe as Bond.

Picture the scene:
Daniel, 5 foot nothing in a baggy tux looking anxiously at M…
Close up on Daniel’s face as he slowly realises that M is in fact…
Voldemort

Yes I agree! I can’t imagine her played by anyone else!
Kate Winslet is too serious.

I hope James Norton is the next Bond. He’s absolutely perfect for it!
Have a huge crush on him too 😁

Alfred Enoch as Peter Grant in Rivers of London.

This! Daniel Radcliffe is a crap actor with zero sex appeal and charisma. He’s a twat as well.

I have always thought this!!!!

And Cher as Mother Gothel

I agree

Ben Daniels as James Bond.. he would have been sublime.

He surely is perfect for it.
His range is terrific :
Grantchester
Happy Valley
Nowhere Special
Mc Mafia
Playing Nice
etc
