If TP was Reimagined, what Current Actors would Work?
Let's say Lynch and Frost redo this thing - who plays who?
(Sorry if this thread was already done, I looked for one like this and couldn't find it.)
Laura --> one of the OLSEN TWINS, mainly since the character is already dead and we need someone cute with a touch of disturbed in her - or perhaps one of those nuttey SPEARS SISTERS - then again, maybe some complete unknown chick would be better here, to add more mystery
Ben --> Man, I have no idea offhand
Audrey --> Evan Rachel Ward? She has very lost looking eyes and plays the young disturbed trouble-maker well, I think a younger Alicia Silverstone would've worked but she's too old now;
Shelley --> pretty easy to find, just need anyone with perfect looks and a goody two shoes girl next door demeanor willing to get jumped by a male actor twice a wk - Hollywood's gotta be full of women for this
Cooper --> JOSH HARTNETT? Good loooking but goofy is an odd mix - a young TOM SELLECK Magnum PI type is rare; Hartnett was goofy in LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN, and I could see Ward flirting with him - maybe JOSH DUHAMEL could work, he's also very goofy
Truman --> need a guy with a kind face but strong - HEATH LEDGER would've been great 'cept he's dead - there's a simplicity to the character that makes him pretty easy to replace imo - although I can't think of any offhand - hardest part of this guy is he MUST have cop buddy chemistry with the Coop actor, so Coop must be picked first
Lucy --> she cannot be replaced - we'd need to find someone who's adorably confused in an annoying way that somehow doesn't annoy you, but she'd have to capture this blend in a different way - she's the type you'd have to just stumble onto interviewing cooky chicks
Andy --> cannot be replaced directly, like Lucy
Leo -->
Etc.
...
Man I'm exhausted - didn't get very far either - feel free to disagree, most of you know the chars better than I do anyway

You mean Evan Rachel Wood? I think she'd be alright but I can't help but think she'd get really annoying fast.NoiselessFan wrote:Audrey --> Evan Rachel Ward?

For Ben, I think Michael Keaton would be good. I also think Aaron Eckhardt would be great, since he played a similar character in Thank You For Smoking.
Can't think of anyone else specifically and, frankly, it'll be a dark day when they remake Twin Peaks unless Lynch and Frost are heavily involved.

sorry, yeah, wood - and yeah, Lynch's unique method of selecting the cast would be sorely needed

James Hurley could be played by Shia Labeouf...

Welcome to amateur hour. Looks like an all-nighter, boys.

-->I could see Joe Pantoliano doing an interesting interpretation of Dr Jacoby
-->Natalie Portman could be Shelley - she's a simple, innocent, flawless kind of pretty
-->Guy Pearce might make a believable Coop - he can be clinically logical yet likeable

Mares eat oats and Doe's eat oats,
