It's all over the net that Spike Lee is shooting a new movie & we all know how much he loves theater and NY types. Who's your dream cast, regardless of subject? Actors you'd just love to see in it?

Mine:

Patti LuPone
Anika Noni Rose
Chuck Cooper
Viola Davis
Mark Rylance

I was reading yesterday that he officially signed on to do the remake of "Oldboy", a gritty and extremely violent Korean revenge thriller.

Is that what you are referring to?


....but the world goes 'round

@ tazber & best12bars:

No actually I wasn't referring to Oldboy specifically. Even though Patti LuPone being locked in a hotel room where she couldn't order room service & then getting out & plotting vengeance & death sounds exciting!

There's also speculation that it could be a "Do The Right Thing" sequel where he reprise his role as Mookie. Or a new HBO movie.

Sigh. There's absolutely no way you can improve on Oldboy. It's just not possible. Why doesn't Spike Lee do something else?

The protagonist is a man in his 40s. Tough as nails type. Don't know who would be good off the top of my head.

The Spike Lee movie in question is a sequel to Do The Right Thing. Have you ever seen it? If not, watch it before playing your silly game. THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, POST HERE.

Oh thank you so much "A Director" for your inside information, even if delivered in a nasty manner.

Sequel! So exciting, ok I'm that case, I say:

John Tuturro
Danny Turturro
Aida Turturro
The ENTIRE cast of Mob Wives
Anthony Mackie
Norbert Leo Butz
Harriet Foy
.............man I'm stuck. Too many "actor-y types with a lack of machismo" on the stage......
