This is my dream cast and director,

Davies - Jonathan Pryce. I saw him when the play was in SF and he was amazing!
Aston - Colin Firth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsllVbjFvLA
Mick - Rupert Friend
Director - Tom Hooper

What do you guys think? Who would you cast and why? Who do you believe is the best choice for director?

He would be an interesting choice. Not sure if he would get the job, seeing that he isn't very well known outside of theater. Thats my opinion though, I could be wrong.

It'd be a tough one to pull off--you might need someone more cinematic to handle directing. I really enjoyed the movie of BETRAYAL but it didn't seem to be very successful.

@aaronb - Yeah, I agree, it would be tough. Maybe Joe Wright? I have never seen betrayal, I'll check it out.

Yeah, Joe Wright is exactly the guy--smart, cinematic, and literary.

I wish Pinter were still alive to adapt. His version of "Sleuth" is actually better in a few respects than the original, though I know that's a very unpopular opinion.

@darquegk - Do you mean adapt it for the stage?
