Ok, so what about JAKE GYLLENHAAL for The Baker??

Considering the fact that her performance stole the entire NINE movie, I would bet she is on the short list for The Witch.

Sure Cruz is beautiful, but she's honestly all wrong for The Witch.

Marion Cotillard was the highlight of Nine for me. She'd be... an interesting Witch.

Kate Winslet and Toni Collette are the ONLY two options for Baker's Wife for me.

The end credits of NINE was the highlight for me. They should play the Witch.

Hey, Bob3 - Suck it.
People who throw the word "racist" around like that totally take away the words true meaning. Nothing anyone said was racist in any way and you know it.

Maybe not racist...but definitely xenophobic.

No, it was called a joke. Stop trying to be so holier than thou.

I knew you were joking, it just makes me laugh when you get your panties in a bunch.

This sounds fake to me. Yes it's a reading, but even then I don't see people like Tammy Blanchard and Megan Hilty agreeing to play Florinda and Lucinda. They barely speak at all.

Never, ever considered Anna Kendrick for that role. Kind of totally love it.
Toni Collette is too old for BW, but she might be a good Witch.

Toni Collette needs to do the movie version of Next 2 Normal.

One interesting thing:
David Garrison is listed as the "Screenplay Narrator." Not the Narrator/Mysterious Man. And there's no indication that they're using the boy-as-narrator concept for the film.
As for the cast, I could definitely see some of them making it into the final film, but not the leads. I would bet the Witch, Baker, and Baker's Wife will be played by much bigger "movie" names.
Some good choices all around, though!

And no, Bob. You didn't know I was joking and that was your lame attempt to save face.

Sorry but I have already cast Kate Winslet in that role.

I would love to see James Corden as the baker. He's certainly made a theatre name for himself, he's downright beloved across the pond,and he's not enough of a name to be downright distracting...
I'm sorry, the biggest problem with some of these movie musicals lately is that they cast based on the name. Talented or not, it takes me out of a movie to see an A-List name. All I can think is, "Hey, there's John Travolta in a fat suit" or "Hey, there's Queen Latifah...again."

Well the biggest problem is that there's not this great abundance of actors who can sing well enough to do movie musicals (or at least not a lot who WANT to do them) so the same ones keep getting cast. And that's not going to change until they start dubbing actors, like they done since day 1. Then, like I've said before, we can have people like Sandra Bullock as the Bakers Wife.

This is a surprisingly solid cast even for a reading. I hope some of them stick around for the film, but like everyone has said, there's no way the three leads of the films will be anything but big, Hollywood stars.
I also have a feeling that Zeta-Jones will end up as the Witch and I'm actually not mad about it. She'd be a great fit for that role. A much better fit for her than Desiree.
Sandra Bullock would be an excellent Baker's Wife. I wonder if she'd even go near it though. She doesn't always make the best choices.
