The original cast.

What, no Emmy Rossum?

Look Emmy did not even cross my for the film though I would not be surprised if they picked her to play Penny.

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!

[Georgeanne]

I vote "Indina" Menzel for Tracy Turnblad, fat suits do WONDERS these days!

Shoshana Bean as Tracy

[PhantomMag234]

Posted: 7/19/05 at 7:07pm

But Marissa did such a great job in that role!

[Georgeanne]

Posted: 7/19/05 at 7:07pm

Yeah, but Indina is just SO MUCH BETTER!

It would be nice to see Ricki Lake appear in it, atleast as a cameo.

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

[Thenardier]

Posted: 7/19/05 at 7:56pm

Dakota IS Amber.

Posted: 7/19/05 at 7:57pm

Do you think if Ricki Lake dyed her hair she could play Velma?

Thenardier you kill me. I think powerade almost came out my nose at this one.
