| That is a really difficult question. My favourite movie is Touch of Evil. To replace Orson Welles as director, screenwriter and the bad lead/supporting actor with one person is IMHO not possible. Director for it? Probably Darren Aronofski. I think he could especially catch that surrealistic parts, especially after she gets out of the drugs and they had prepared all to get her shocked => to loose her mind. Charlton Heston I could never stand, I am aware he did some great roles in even greater movies (4 of them are in my favourite list, including ToE), but I simple 'hate' him as a person. => someone who can play the 'erectness', sympathetic, desperate, .... official state thingy (do not know the term), Hugh Jackman (who worked with Aronofsky before) or Gerard Butler (no, not because of his 300 work, I'm more impressed by other movies with him). Gary Sinise I could also imagine, depending how a new director would approach the story. Specialist for endurance, being on the edge for holding it together is for me Sean Bean. Maria Bello for Janet Leigh, she also can play suffer and broke down. Julie Benz I also think has the range for that movie. Orson Welles role. That's a problem. A really great one. True evil, contemptuous to others, 'soulless' murderer, big manipulator.... Pete Postlethwaite? If it has to be a younger one Joaquim Phoenix???? If Charles Laughton would still be alive, I would 'call' him. |
