Thread Name: BS: Worst MISCAST ever.
Subject: RE: BS: Worst MISCAST ever.
Mia Farrow as Daisy Buchanan in "The Great Gatsby". Killed the movie DOA. No one ever yearned for her eternally on the edge of a distant dock (Better than Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw, the original proposed duo, but...).

Every Batman in the Batman movies, but Michael Keaton was the worst. On the other hand, Michelle Pfeiffer was extraordinary.

Coming up: Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz in "Captain Corelli's Mandolin". I hated the book, but even I can see complete disaster on its way. Cage, the elegant mandolin player (?), Penelope Cruz a Greek maiden? (the return of the 1950's: Spanish, Greek, Kiowa, who knows from Kiowa, we are talking ethnic here!)

Marlon Brando as Moby Dick (whoops, wrong thread, should be in most inspired casting thread. Juliette Binoche as Captain Ahab.).

yours, Peter T.
