CAST THIS: An Unnecessary Remake - The Big Lebowski
I believe fellow schmoe Weapon X started these a while back and this is the one that I really felt like I could sink my teeth into and come up with something halfway decent...So I'm gonna try the whole shebang here, cast, director, writer, producer, etc. Here goes nothing:
THE DUDE - Paul Rudd
WALTER SOBCHAK - Seth Rogen
DONNY - A.D. Miles
JEFFREY LEBOWSKI - Alan Alda
MAUDE LEBOWSKI - Kathryn Hahn
BUNNY LEBOWSKI - Malin Akerman
BRANDT - Jonah Hill
THE STRANGER - H. Jon Benjamin
JACKIE TREEHORN - Ken Marino
THE NIHILISTS - Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, & Joe Lo Truglio
JESUS QUINTANA - Justin Theroux
---------------------------------------------------------------------
DA FINO - Thomas Lennon
TREEHORN'S THUGS - Jason Sudekis & Rob Corddry
SMOKEY - Judah Friedlander
KNOX HARRINGTON - Kevin Sussman
---------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTOR - David Wain
WRITER(s) - David Wain & Ken Marino
PRODUCER - Judd Apatow
That's it. A few names on here might not be as recognizable as some others, but anyone familiar with Wain's work should know or at least heard of a good majority of them. Any feedback I can get would be great...You know, just overall thoughts on my choices. And remember guys "This is just like, my opinion man".
Chillin'I'm not a fan of this list. Turning a Cohen work in to an Apatow product is not my idea of fun, but bold choices.

A lot of these choices I could really get behind. I really don't like Seth Rogen for Walter, though. I have nothing against Rogen, but I can't see him doing that role. It would be distracting. And A.D. Miles is just TOO awkward and nerdy for Donny. I wouldn't be able to buy him sitting there silently. Even silent, he's too much of an annoying presence. Otherwise... These choices are pretty great. LOVE Paul Rudd for The Dude.
