Guess who Barbra has talked to for the part of Herbie?

Babs must have the role wrong here ... she must mean Tulsa.

Sure, and Sarah Palin's gonna be our next president. Don't tell me, her second choice is James Brolin.

I really love this ... if it's true. He's 43. She's 69 and clearly out of her mind.
That's a 26-year age difference.
EDIT: And she really is Norma Desmond now. The living, breathing, real deal.

I think Elliot Gould could make sense.

Is she filming GYPSY or an episode of COUGAR TOWN?

Tom Hanks, John Travolta: good choices
How about Lady Gaga as Louise? :)

Bad casting.
Herbie is a nice guy, not a stud muffin. Plus he doesn't have to be that good of a singer or dancer.

When I read the thread title, I thought Gould. I still say Kevin Kline is the best choice for the role. I don't see Jackman as Herbie at all, even with an age-appropriate Rose.
As long as I'm at it, I'll also repeat my suggestions of Anne Hathaway as Louise and Anna Kendrick as June.

Can we just point out here that Barbra is NOT the director of the movie-to-be. Yes, she's the star, but a director has yet to be chosen. Also, being talked to about a part is a vast difference from being cast.
I will say that if Barbra is sounding delusional, doesn't that make her a great fit for Rose?

Perhaps, charles, but as best12bars pointed out, that would make her more suitable for Sunset Boulevard.
Trust me, STREISAND will choose the director, and have final say in casting, craft services items, everything!

I'd prefer Kevin Kline or Tom Hanks, personally.

Well, if they want someone age-appropriate to play Rose's dad, they're going to have to coax Harry Morgan out of retirement.

This would be positively cougar-ific, like Stockard Channing and Aaron Tveit at the 2009 TONY awards.

Well if they're going for silly casting, why don't they just audition Betty White for the role of Herbie.
I even think most of the names mentioned here are wrong. I've always seen Herbie was a bit rough around the edges but can clean up well. I had always wished that when Allan Melvin was alive, that he would have played the role.
At this moment, I'm sort of leaning toward Hugh Laurie playing Herbie.
And if they commit this to film again, I renew my request to see the strippers played as follows:
Angela Lansbury - Elektra
Chita Rivera - Tessie Turra
Elaine Stritch - Mazeppa

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I might be getting ahead of myself here, but what about Aaron Tveit for Tulsa? He's got the voice and the young blonde ingenue quality that Tulsa needs.
As for Louise, I can see Lea Michele playing her (they need a recognizable face who can sing) but I have no clue who could play June.

Does Lea Michele need to be brought up for every F'in role? And the thought of her stripping and being sexy makes me want to vomit. Not just a little bit in my mouth, but full on projectile "Stand By Me, pie eating contest" vomit.

For modern-day musical movies? Yes, she does. Love it or hate it, Gypsy needs a recognizable face to sell, and the majority of the outside world that would go see a movie musical like Gypsy watches Glee.

And going by hour logic, Anderson Cooper should be Herbie since a lot of people watch the news.

I don't think Tulsa needs to be blonde.

But June needs to be black since black people watch GLEE.

Much to his chagrin, my gag reflex toward Lea Michele is similar to Jordan's.
Based on history, don't expect anyone particularly strong, such as the previously suggested Anne Hathaway, to snag the role of Louise. LaStreisand just won't have it.
..and she certainly is going to allow some Babs wannabe (nee Lea) to play opposite her.
