Casting Call

If you could assemble a dream cast for a remake of the movie, who would you choose? I picture Tony Shaloub from Monk as Fedallah and Michael Clarke Duncan from The Green Mile as Daggoo. Ahab is a little harder to cast...maybe William Peterson from CSI: Las Vegas?

Here is my dream cast...

Ishmael:Emilie Hirsch(guy from Into the Wild)
Queequeg: not wuite sure, he would be hard to find.
Ahab: Jack Nicholson
Daggoo: I agree with Michael Clarke Duncan
Tashtego: Benjamin Bratt
Fedallah: Elijah Wood(he seems like he could be very sneaky and spooky)

Dream Cast so far:
Ishmael- David Thewlis (Remus in Harry Potter, monk guy in Kingdom of Heaven)
Ahab- Geoffrey Rush (Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean)
Starbuck-Nicholas Cage (National Treasure)
Queequeg is tough to place which is kind of sad. And I agree with Shamu on Charity being Julie Andrews.
