Hollywood Switch: 2nd Edition
Hollywood Switch April 30th, 2008Well kids it’s that time again. Time to play mix and match with Hollywood. For those that have not seen this before here is how it works. I take 2 movies and switch the actors/actresses around and give you a brief idea of how it would effect the 2 films. So let’s see what we have in this edition.
Movies: Queen of the Damed, Nick Of Time
Actors: Stuart Townsend, Johny Depp
What this would look like: Now I also thought they should have brought back Tom Cruise because he nailed the part in Interview with a Vampire but I would also love to see Depp take a shot at it. Depp is one of the most talented actors alive today. The man can do anything and he does it brilliantly every time. Don’t me wrong I like Townsend and he is a good actor but he was not Lestat. Of course I also had a few other problems with this movie but that is another article. While I would never replace Depp in anything this was the only title I could think of.
Movies: Alone in the Dark, Jackie Brown
Actresses: Tara Reid, Bridget Fonda
What this would look like: I hear the groans already but just wait. Read this interview I did with Uwe Boll. He says if he was going to remake one of his movies it would this one with out Tara Reid. I nearly fell out of my chair when that was his answer. Now Bridget is a talented actress and could do smart and tough. Watch Point of no Return and Lake Placid. I think she could blend those characters nicely and make it work for Alone in the Dark. Tara could easily play the part of Melanie Ralston.
Movies: Tango and Cash, Batman & Robin
Actors: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kurt Russell
What this would like: I am torturing you for my own amusement. Actually years and years ago there was this rumor that Stallone and Arnold did not like each other so I figure why not put them in a buddy cop movie together. Yes I know I need help. Kurt Russell as Mr Freeze would not have hurt Batman and Robin at all. I don’t know if it would have made it better but it certainly would not have hurt.
That’s it for this edition of the Hollywood Switch. For some fun give me a movie and the actor/actress you want replaced and I will find a replacement.
