Let's beat the rush by making the casting list for the movie now. You know which movie,,,,

[dixiegrrrrl]

Caveats:
1. No short actors like Cruise playing tall roles, ( Reacher fans know what I mean)
altho I have no idea who can play the giant Comey. but...
Woody Harrelson in there somewhere, cause I like him.

2. Not a comedy movie, altho irony and sarcasm can be allowed.

3. Has to be written by Aaron Sorkin or equally good writers. ( Sorkin did West Wing...and Molly Bloom)

Ok...pen your dream cast.....

[dewsgirl]

1. Clive Owen maybe for James Comey or even Bob Mueller

I have always thought George Clooney would make a great Jim Acosta.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I don't know how you-know-who can be anybody but Alec Baldwin.

Steve Bannon = John Goodman or Michael Douglas
Ivanka = Angelina Jolie
Melania = Julia Roberts
Jared = Johnny Depp or Benedict Cumberbatch
Sarah Slanders = Kathy Bates
Carter Page = Adam Sandler
Jeff Sessions = Mike Myers

3. Sam Waterston as Mueller nt

[trueblue2007]

4. "ME" .... as the Vampire who bites Donald Trump.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. I think Kyle Chandler might make a good Comey

I remember watching Bloodline and thinking he was somewhat reminiscent of him.

Looks like others might agree:

6. He was good in Friday Night Lights. Many of those characters went on to bigger things.

I can see a resemblance to Comey, tho not the height.


lol...just thought of Kate McKinnon for Sessions.....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. Hes 6-1, so while hes not quite at Comeys height...

...the difference wouldn’t be too overwhelming.

Maybe he could wear lifts.

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. Didn't realize he was that tall.

Maybe that would work.

7. I cast Roger Allam as Bannon a year ago:

Manafort: Steven van Zandt



(we could use a lot of The Sopranos, actually ...)

Your tall actor for Comey: Jonathan Frakes

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Wow...I can see that Bannon role.

I have seen the actor, but cannot recall where.

Yes, much like Sopranos. Could almost be a mini-episode tv series, perhaps.

[muriel_volestrangler]

11. If you watched the Inspector Morse prequel 'Endeavour', he was his boss "Thursday"

He also played a hapless politician (but far nicer than Bannon) in Armando Iannucci's "The Thick of It", though that may never have got to the USA. He's been a supporting actor in a lot of things for years.

12. Eric Trump: Matt Smith

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. ohhh..you are good at this!

I was thinking that Josh Brolin could be in there somewhere cause he is a really good chameleon, and also Billy Bob thorton,
only slightly less as good at it.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

13. Such a shame Henry Gibson's no longer with us.

After all the "Illinois Nazi" jokes we've made about Sessions, he'd be perfect.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. I agree.

Back to Kate McKinnon, I guess.

[raccoon]

16. Gary oldham for DT. He did such a good job as Churchill. Nt

[nolabear]

17. Kevin Spacey as DJT.

I confess I stole that from a caller to John Fugelsang.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Actually, he'd be pretty good. Spacey is a creep but a very fine actor.

[nolabear]

19. True. And they have so much in common!

[JDC]

20. Dolt 45 - Gary Busey

I like the idea of media blending, so adding the animated Beavis and Butthead with live actors appeals to me. A Roger Rabbit of sorts...

Scarlett Johanssenn gets a role just cause.

Samuel L Jackson portrays himself. As always.

Kathy Bates as the Huckster, a reprise of her Annie role in Misery.

Nobody can channel the true filth that comes from the mouth of Kelly Ann, so she'll have to do a cameo

I could do this all day...
