These threads always take a turn for the worst after about 10 posts. Then we start casting Chuck Norris and Snoop Dogg.

Mandy Moore would be kick ass as Amber and i reckon Brittany Murphy or Amy Adams would do a great job as Penny!

Nobody will ever be able to play Edna like Harvey. He created it, he needs to do it in the movie. Edna is his.
