  Andrew here, with another episode of LAMB Casting. We took a relatively new film the last time with P. T. Anderson’s Magnolia but this month we return to our classic roots and are recasting Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s 1950 Best Picture winner All About Eve. It’s a notorious ensemble (featuring one Oscar winning and four Oscar nominated performances) and it’s appeared time and time again on list of ...

• LAMB Casting: Magnolia (RESULTS)

  Andrew here: I’ll admit, when CS suggested the idea of recasting Magnolia I was intrigued for the very same reason it seems like a strange idea. It’s a recent flick, the cast is huge and Anderson’s films always seem so meticulously casted. So, I was interested in seeing what you’d come up with. Even those of you who didn’t participate had some great ideas, and by great I mean hilarious (like Jose’s suggestion of...

  This time you had a bit hard, you had to recast the huge ensemble of P. T. Anderson’s Magnolia and more than a few participants and spectators commented on the difficulty of it (especially a certain role created by Julianne Moore. I received four interesting casting ideas, each with more than a bit of merits. Here they are.           CAST A Susan Sarandon (Narrator); Christian Bale (Frank T. J. Mackey);...

  Jimmy Gator (originally played by Philip Baker Hall) Claudia Wilson Gator...

  Andrew here with another entry of Interview with a LAMBpire, and as per normal I’m egregiously late about it. Apparently, I can’t change my ways. The last time I featured an interview with Marshall (here) after he won an entry of LAMB Casting, and our most recent winner is CS of Big Thoughts From A Small Mind who won for recasting Forrest Gump.  Here’s some of his intelligent thoughts on aspects of...

  Andrew (from Encore’s World & Film & TV) here with the latest in LAMB Casting. I sent out missives (not really) asking you to recast Forrest Gump, the 1994 megahit. It’s not really an actors’ flick – but there’s a quintet of roles that has all the melodrama for any interested thespian to sink their teeth into. Which of the following would make the best re-imagining?

  This is Andrew here from Encore’s World of Film & TV.               I always wonder what it is with the Best Picture winners from the nineties always getting so much flack – from Titanic to Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient and the film we’re talking about now Forrest Gump. Granted I wasn’t in the Forrest Gump camp back in ’94 but I’m always...

Nonetheless, I’m finally here with the results for the recasting of the 1997 Julia Roberts’ vehicle My Best Friend’s Wedding. Here we go:

  Ryan of Sorta That Guy led with Anne Hathaway as Julianne...

  This is Andrew from Encore’s World of Film & TV. You may have noticed that I’ve been unusually late with the results for the last LAMB Casting episode, but that just seems you can cast votes if you haven’t already (HERE). I’ve been thinking of ways to make the series more interesting, and decided that resuscitating an old favourite feature of mine to exist in accordance with LAMB Casting:...
