Some times I think a group of actors just works together really well, so why not just use them all in another project.

My thinking is I really would love to see a "Venture Bros" live action movies. But who do you drop in the roles? And, how do you find another movie where you can take 90% of the major cast, and turn them into 90% of the other cast you would need.

Here is my attempt.
I think these actors could do Venture Bros. I think these actors would be hilarious in the roles. Moreover, I think it wouls make a good movie.

ActorRole in Avengers 2 UltronRole in The Venture Bros.
Robert Downey Jr.Tony Stark / Iron ManDr. Venture
Chris HemsworthThorHank Venture
Chris EvansSteve Rogers / Captain AmericaDean Venture
Mark RuffaloBruce Banner / HulkBrock Samson
Scarlett JohanssonNatasha Romanoff / Black WidowMolotov Cocktease
Samuel L. JacksonNick FuryJonas Venture Sr.
Jeremy RennerClint Barton / HawkeyeDr. Orpheus
Elizabeth OlsenWanda Maximoff / Scarlet WitchTriana Orpheus
James SpaderUltronThe Monarch
Cobie SmuldersMaria HillDr Girlfriend
Don CheadleJames Rhodes / War MachineHenchman 21 (short)
Aaron Taylor-JohnsonPietro Maximoff / QuicksilverHenchman 24 (tall)
Paul BettanyJarvis / VisionH.E.L.P.eR

Now, keep in mind, I want these actor to PLAY the new roles, they are not playing their Ultron roles. These actors are playing their Venture Bros role as best as they can...I just point out who they did play as reference for who they are.

Tell me what you think, or propose your "other cast"

Take the cast of Lord of the Rings and put them in Avengers. I haven't thought this any further.

Take the cast of Lord of the Rings, drop them into a Witcher movie, because whatever, close enough. Viggo Mortenson would be Geralt, and then you'd need to hire more female actresses, because the like three actresses in LotR probably wouldn't be enough.

I'm super lazy and will not be making a table.

Cast of Justified in an adaption of Metal Gear Solid:

Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) = Solid Snake

Robert Quarles (Neal MacDonough) = Liquid Snake

Ava Crowder (Joelle Carter) = Meryl Silverburgh

Avery Markham (Sam Elliott) = Revolver Ocelot

Winona Hawkins (Natalie Zea) = Naomi Hunter

Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) = Grey Fox

Art Mullen (Nick Searcy) = Colonel Campbell

Bob Sweeney (Patton Oswalt) = Otacon

This was a dumb thing for me to do.

Easy answer. The cast of The Expendables do Love Actually. That'd sort it out!

After all these years I have another one....

Remake Die Hard #1 with the cast of Mission Impossible 4

ACTORMI: FALLOUTDIE HARD reMAKE
Simon PeggBenji DunnJohn McClane
Rebecca FergusonIlsa FaustHolly Gennaro McClane
Ving RhamesLuther StickellSgt. Al Powell (as Reginald Veljohnson)
Angela BassettErica SloanJoseph Yoshinobu Takagi [Nakatomi's CEO]
Alec BaldwinAlan HunleyDeputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson
Tom CruiseEthan HuntHarry Ellis [smarmy businessman]
Vanessa KirbyWhite WidowHans Gruber
Henry CavillAugust WalkerKarl [huge, blond brut the pursues McClane]
Sean HarrisSolomon LaneFranco [other thug]
Liang YangLark DecoyArgyle [the likeable driver]

I think the best part would be Simon Peg being McClane, because you would get a nice take on the role, but he woudl still have all the quips and humor of Bruce Willis, and a little bit of the schlubby cop too. Ving Rhames in the Carl Winslow cop role would be fun. Angela Bassett at the CEO would be a great role for her. Alec Baldwin as the jerk Deputy Police Chief would be fun for him as well. A female "Hans Gruber" is a nice switch because you have Nalatomi's CEO and Hans Gruber as cool actresses, so they early by-play of those two facing off would be neat. Having Cavil play the brutish eurotrash mercenary is a good fit for him. And, of course, you have Tom Cruise playing the smarmy oversexed businessman role of Harry Ellis - "Hey babe, I negotiate million dollar deals for breakfast. I think I can handle this Eurotrash."

Of, course Cruise will want the McClane role; but no ...hard pass, Mr Cruise. I need Simon Pegg as John McClane because that is just so much of batter fit for his 'British witt' and his non-action hero look.

I tried to come up with an answer to this question, but all I could think about was which movie cast would I like to see in a porno. Then, for some reason, I kept coming up with the cast of the movie Castaway. What the hell is wrong with me?

I'm about to shatter the brackets.

The Muppets in Pacific Rim.

Edit: who'm I kidding, I'm doing the Table.

The Muppets in ANYthing is always a great answer.

ActorCharacter in Pacific RimMuppet
Charlie HunnamRaleigh BeckettKermit the Frog
Rinko KinkuchiMako MoriJanice
Idris ElbaStacker PentecostFozzie Bear
Charlie DayDr. Newton GeizlerGonzo
Burn GormanHerman GottleibDr. Teeth
Ron PerlmanHannibal ChauRolph
Max MartiniHerc Hansen (dad of Idris Elba's co-pilot)Sam the Eagle
Heather DoerksonLt. Kaidanovsky (female Russian pilot)Miss Piggy
Clifton Collins Jr.Ops. Tendo Choi (the guy on the headset)The Newsman

And, of course, the main Kaiju is Animal. Others are various other "feral" Muppets.

I totally did this as a teenager with the cast of Days of Our Lives & X-men.

I've wanted the cast of The Americans in an old school vampire film for a few years now. Matthew Rhys would make a bad ass vampire.

Trainspotting to Justice League. I would watch. And rewatch, and make my friends watch, as no one would agree willingly.

Drop the cast of Predator into Glengarry Glen Ross.

Also I've always liked the idea of having a stereotypical Friday the 13th style slasher film but with a bunch of older actors pretending to be teens, so drop the cast of Cocoon into Friday the 13th part 6 and just see what happens. Wilford Brimley gets to be Tommy Jarvis.

For one that would actually work pretty well I think, swap the casts of Alien and The Thing. Kurt Russel and Sigourney Weaver swap, Yaphet Koto and Keith David, too. Harry Dean Stanton swaps with David Klennon, Wilford Brimley swaps with Ian Holm. John Hurt and Peter Maloney, Donald Moffat swaps with Tom Skerritt. Lambert and Windows swap places. It actually works really well the more I think about it.

How about this...

Don't re-cast they movie, but make 90% shot for shot remake of a movie with the same key actors by years later. So everyone is back in their old roles saying the same lines, but they are all older and this in a slightly different circumstance. So for instead if you did it for Breakfast Club the 48 year old actors are not playing high school kids they are playing adults doing something they would probably being doing - going to Traffic school or serving on a jury. The characters are THE SAME but imagined realistically older; Judd Nelson is a dock worker, Emilios Estevez is a wrestling coach, Molly RIngwald is a rich stay at home wife, and Ally Sheedy is...err the oldest Hot Topic employee ever.

First on my list :
The Sixth Sense: Haley Joel Osment 30 years old. So the story plays out the same way, but now that child is a 30 year old who is a school teacher...so that school scenes still work. The interesting part of this concept is what would and audience's perception be if Osment isn't a precocious cute kid, but a chubby adult who says he sees dead people and he lives with his mom. What if instead of kids picking on him it the other teachers who lock him in a closet at a 'work party'.

Taxi Driver: I mainly want this because you cans STILL get Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster to play their roles! Again same lines and same story...but does the audiences care about a 57 year old Iris in the same way as the 12 year old? Could a glossier New York without the old Times Square porno theaters still "feel" as dirt as it did in 1976? Maybe, we just believe a 80 year old Travis Bickle (undoubtedly a MAGA) is even more unhinged from reality far earlier in the film.

I think this woudl even work as just the actors re-playing one scene, so the whole movie need not be remade. It would be just be fascinating to have them re-do a single scene shot for shot with the changes I said above.

Original version, definitely. Remake with Tony Danza? It’s debatable.
